The IMPACT Driver Workshop
An Innovative Leadership Approach Focused on Business Value
The IMPACT Driver Leadership Development program will equip your organization’s Project, Program, and Portfolio Leaders with the skills to manage and lead complex change initiatives that align with your organization’s strategic goals. It includes the vital mindset shifts necessary to go beyond the tools and techniques to the business and leadership competencies that are necessary to close the gap between strategy and execution in a way that drives a higher focus on achieving intended business outcomes, not just project deliverables.
By mastering this framework, your organization’s leaders will be prepared to lead change with more presence, purpose, and better business results, resulting in increased ROI and long-term success for the company.
Tangible results you can expect:
- Faster project execution, increasing successful business outcomes.
- Strategic alignment of initiatives with business goals.
- Project teams focused on business outcomes over just deliverables.
- Stronger leadership presence for impactful, confident decisions.
Chaos is nothing new to project leaders that have been at the center of it all for decades. But managing change is even more challenging when uncertainty is compounded, and directives are switching regularly. With change and uncertainty as the only constant, business leaders will rely on project managers even more to manage the changes necessary to keep them moving forward toward an uncertain future.
This demand requires project leaders to shed the traditional project management role and shift gears toward a more agile and nimble operating model that accelerates IMPACT on every project while harnessing the power of a digital future offering endless possibilities.
Typical PM Training Focus
- Old-school PM “mechanics”
- Scope, schedule, cost—but no value
- Tools and templates as the goal
- The “consistency straitjacket”
- “Sit and get” training without application
IMPACT Driver Workshop Focus
- Strategic leadership and influence
- Maximizing value and return on investment
- Organizational change management
- Promoting a “How might we…?” mindset
- Hands-on business-centric application
It’s not enough to train your organization’s leaders in project management skills; they must also know how to lead others through change, closing the gap between strategy and execution.
The IMPACT Driver Leadership Development Workshop equips Project, Program, and Portfolio Leaders with the leadership mindset, strategic acumen, and change-driving capabilities needed to deliver measurable business value—not just project outputs.
Grounded in the proven IMPACT Driver Framework, this immersive, two-day workshop focuses on six key mindset shifts that help leaders elevate from tactical execution to strategic, outcome-driven leadership. Participants gain practical tools to improve focus, measure what matters, drive high performance, lead change effectively, communicate with influence, and show up as strategic business partners.
This is a hands-on, fast-paced experience where participants actively apply business, leadership, and change management concepts in real time. Collaborative exercises, peer feedback, and live coaching ensure participants leave with the clarity, confidence, and tools to lead with greater purpose and IMPACT.
By the end of the workshop, leaders will be equipped to:
- Align project work with strategic priorities
- Define and track outcomes that reflect real business value
- Inspire and lead others through change
- Communicate with purpose to drive action and decisions
- Expand your leadership identity from executor to Strategy Navigator
Guiding Your Journey
Shifts We’ll Teach to Support Your Company’s Growth
We understand that our job is to solve business problems, not project problems. We create an environment and team that is dedicated to leveraging the best of project management to meet the needs of the business, understanding that emphasis is on the business solution and the outcome we are helping the organization achieve.
☑️ Identify and align work with strategic business priorities
☑️ Shift from activity management to value-based prioritization
☑️ Focus teams on what matters most to the organization
There are even better ways to define project success than the triple constraint (time, scope, cost) and Earned Value Management (EVM). We will develop metrics and mechanisms for ensuring we are achieving the business goals – the OUTCOMES INTENDED for each project, not just the outputs.
☑️ Define meaningful business outcomes—not just deliverables
☑️ Use success metrics that reflect real business value
☑️ Communicate progress in terms of results, not just status
There’s a lot more to project management than waterfall methodology, or any other implementation methodology, and we will focus on finding the best way to implement each project, all projects across the portfolio, and ensure that we will not fall victim to methodology wars to the detriment of achieving successful project outcomes.
☑️ Build a culture of accountability and follow-through
☑️ Streamline execution by removing unnecessary complexity
☑️ Drive action and results with clarity and urgency
People are not resistant to change, they are resistant to having change done to them. We learn new ways to bring people with us through the change process so that we can create the necessary alignment to accelerate business change.
☑️ Lead yourself and others effectively through change
☑️ Take ownership of resistance and build adaptive strategies
☑️ Empower teams to engage and align during times of uncertainty
Our job is to facilitate effective and transparent communication, removing overhead and administration for project communication so that stakeholders have the information they need to make educated and informed decisions in a timely manner. We will educate, inform, and help build project management understanding and capability across the organization.
☑️ Deliver strategic, outcome-focused communication
☑️ Influence stakeholders through clarity, storytelling, and insight
☑️ Drive faster decisions and stronger alignment
The PMO and project management (regardless of methodology) is the key to helping an organization deliver on its strategy. We will embrace our role as Strategy Navigator™ for the organization so that we can accelerate the return on investment for every project.
☑️ Think and act like a strategic leader, not just a project executor
☑️ Step into the role of a Strategy Navigator who connects work to business goals
☑️ Lead with intention, visibility, and organizational influence
