    Doing business is becoming increasingly complex, with ever-changing societal and environmental issues that require our attention, in order for organisations to continue to thrive sustainably. Sustainable innovation is about creating and integrating new business strategies, products, and services that accelerate positive social change and protect and preserve environmental integrity, whilst enhancing business performance. It is a process through which environmental, social and financial considerations are integrated into company systems, from idea generation through to research and development and commercialisation. In this episode, Impact's Scott Rose is joined by Ryan Hamilton, Chief of Staff for the Environmental Defense Fund, to discuss how change can be influenced within our organisations.

    The issue for organisations isn't that they are not learning organisations; it isn't that they can't learn. The issue is whether our organisations can actually learn something new. Human-centred organisations are new learning organisations; they are committed to learning new things that change mindsets and behaviour, that help them to grow, to move beyond frozen mental models, identities, fears, and previous experiences. But what does ‘new learning' really mean? In this episode, we listen to Impact's Jo Appleby and Grahame Broadbelt as they discuss A New Learning Organisation.

    No organisation is an island. Every organisation is intrinsically dependent for their success on the wider social, economic and environmental context, on both local and global scales. Human-centric organisations see no boundary between what is happening inside and outside their organisations; instead they see only relationships, interconnection and interdependence. In this episode, we join Impact's Jo Appleby and Grahame Broadbelt as they discuss why Ecology is Everything.

    It's a common misconception that leaders and managers are different roles, but in human-centered organisations, leaders and managers operate on the same continuum, defined less by their job title than the work that they do. Because leadership isn't a character trait or a job title; it's a special and particular form of action that anyone can take, at any time. Join Impact's Grahame Broadbelt and Jo Appleby as they discuss human-centered leadership and management.

    A change strategy is a people strategy All organisations are facing unprecedented changes in their competitive environment. Whether the disruptors are political, environmental, down to consumer expectations or unicorn start-ups, organisations need to be adaptive, agile, creative, innovative and more. The necessity for organisational transformation is critical. The more people are involved in the Why, What and How of organisational change, the more they will own the future of their organisation. Change is about learning – people learning to work differently or to do different work. So, what skills and mindsets will you need? Impact work alongside organisations using our consulting frameworks to help find answers to these questions and release the full potential for lasting change within your organisation.

    What is coaching? Why do we need it? What are the benefits of coaching? Using our experiential learning approach, we partner with leaders to inspire, develop and maximise potential. We offer a unique set of leadership coaching services that are designed to support leaders, managers, teams, project groups and networks. We see in organisations everywhere that the skills and expertise that created success over the last 10 years are not the same as the ones that will create success in the decade ahead. For organisations to change, leaders need to change; to do that they need to become active learners and help others to learn. No learning, no change. All our coaches have a wealth of coaching experience and participate in ongoing professional development. What makes Impact coaching uniquely effective is that all of our coaches are also leadership development experts, experiential learning designers, and expert group facilitators.
