Corporate Change Management
Embracing Change as an Artform
At Executive Arts, corporate change management is not just a process—it is an art. Change is inevitable, whether driven by shifting markets, new leadership, technological evolution, or the necessity to remain competitive. But true transformation goes beyond adaptation; it requires a strategic and human-centred approach that aligns an organisation’s vision with its people, culture, and operational realities.
We believe in navigating uncertainty with confidence, using structured methodologies that support businesses, teams, and leaders in making effective, lasting changes. Our approach is built on decades of expertise, rooted in Jim Ewing’s pioneering work in transformational mapping—a reference tool that helps individuals and organisations frame and understand their journey through transition.
Our Approach to Corporate Change Management
At Executive Arts, we map the journey of corporate change using a set of robust, research-backed tools that offer clear paths forward. Our maps and frameworks are designed to support organisations in:
● Identifying the core drivers of change
● Understanding the emotional and strategic impact of transformation
● Navigating the uncertainty of transition
● Enabling teams and leaders to take meaningful and sustainable actions
Our work is deeply rooted in conversational exploration, where the stories people tell about their experiences become valuable insights into organisational transformation.
Key Phases of Change Management
Recognising the Need for Change
Whether due to market shifts, internal challenges, or strategic realignments, recognising why change is needed is the first step. This phase involves identifying urgency, risks, and opportunities.
Understanding the Human Response to Change
Change is as much about people as it is about systems. Our methodologies, such as TransforMAP, help individuals and teams move through the natural stages of transition—from initial resistance and uncertainty to exploration and commitment.
Mapping the Path Forward
We use structured frameworks like:
○ Insight Cycle – Identifying behaviours, beliefs, and external influences affecting change.
○ Stucco – Understanding resistance and unearthing the root causes of organisational inertia.
○ Implemento – Designing actionable strategies that align with business goals and human realities.
○ Impacto – Engaging stakeholders and building commitment to change.
○ TransforMAP – Supporting the mental and emotional shift needed for transformation.
Executing and Adapting
With clear pathways established, we guide organisations in implementing, measuring, and refining their change strategies.
Mapping the Change Journey
At Executive Arts, we use mapping as a tool—not to predict every step but to guide organisations through the complexity of transformation. Our maps provide:
✔ A structured yet flexible approach to understanding and navigating change
✔ A way to engage teams in meaningful discussions about the future
✔ A method to align personal and corporate narratives with strategic objectives
✔ A framework to track progress and identify areas needing adaptation
Our maps and tools are highly visual, practical, and conversation-driven, designed to support leaders and teams in making better decisions amidst uncertainty.
The Role of Storytelling in Corporate Change Management
At Executive Arts, we harness the power of storytelling rather than relying solely on pictures or visual presentations. We recognise that stories shape understanding, motivation, and commitment to change. By enabling teams and leaders to express their experiences, concerns, and aspirations, we help:
● Surface hidden challenges and fears about transformation
● Develop shared narratives that align teams with corporate goals
● Create a culture of openness, where change is understood and embraced rather than feared
● Enable leaders to communicate effectively, ensuring engagement at every level
Our approach ensures that the story of change is owned and co-created by those who live it—making transformation authentic, meaningful, and actionable.
