SHIFT is a change management consultancy. We help organizations rethink- and redesign- how they build community, workspace environments, innovation capacity, and creative leadership. Yesterday it was HR. Today it is Design. We are a research-oriented firm grounded in the discipline of anthropology and the practice of ethnography. We work from the bottom-up and are hands-on. We help you transform your organization to better execute your strategy.
Shift Leadership
Innovative leadership today is quite different than yesterday’s leadership excellence. For lean, flexible, forward-facing companies, leadership is no longer about the leadership self or the executive on the couch. It is about being empathetic and externally oriented- on customers and employees. It is more about being designers of new futures than it is about being masters of the universe. We call it Leading as Designing.
Shift Workspace
Space is the fount of culture. Outmoded workspace can be repurposed into open, collaborative environments. Reduce costs, attract talent, and foster innovation by adopting flexible workspace. Examining where you work and its impact on how you work needs to be part of your innovation strategy.Change Management
Change becomes progress when traditional, top-down initiatives give way to accepting the gravitational pull of the cloud. Escaping the trap of incremental change is as easy as heeding the pragmatism of technology, acknowledging the common sense of results-only work, and utilizing just-in-time everything. Lead the shift.Take our short, 5-question survey about flexible workplace strategies.
