Organisations today face deep uncertainty and growing pressure to transform - from within and from the world around them.
Signs of disconnection are everywhere: between people and purpose, brand and behaviour, profit and planet. The Power of impact is intended for leaders who recognise that tension and want to act. Leaders who care about doing the right thing, making meaningful impact, and bringing coherence to what their organisation thinks, does and values.
This book presents two key frameworks: the Transformational Spiral®, guiding a participative journey, and the Coherence Compass®, which uncovers misalignments between purpose, behaviour, culture and space. It offers a practical, personal guide to reveal the invisible, reconnect what matters, and build organisations that are future-fit, inspiring, and truly worth believing in.
