I love the term change readiness and how Stefanie Krievins describes it. Stefanie is the president of The Change Architects, a boutique integration firm dedicated to driving transformation and upskilling in mid-market and enterprise organizations. Because change is now the oxygen we breathe and plans don’t equal action, she designs programs for continuous learning and organizational capabilities, especially with IT teams. This framework is The Change Architecture.

She’s also the host of the Hot Mess Hotline, a podcast for ambitious leaders who want to drive impactful change. Founded in 2014, The Change Architects is a small but powerful team of IT, learning and development, HR, and coaching experts. They’ve worked with companies and teams with 5 to 50,000 employees across all sectors.

She received her coach training in solution-focused methodology from Erickson International and is a member of the International Coach Federation. She also holds a master’s and an undergraduate degree from Indiana University.

Episode Insight: Accountability creates freedom. When we promise and deliver, we clear mental space and gain the power to focus on what truly matters.

Background: In this episode of Reflect Forward, I interview Stefanie Crevins, president of The Change Architects. We discuss the importance of change readiness within organizations, particularly in mid-market and enterprise sectors. Stefanie explains how her framework, Change Architecture, helps companies create cohesive and adaptable strategies.

She also shares insights on how leaders can engage and motivate employees, maintain integrity, and effectively delegate tasks without micromanaging.

The episode underscores the need for visionary thinking and strategic focus to navigate the rapid pace of technological advancements and organizational shifts. I hope you enjoy it!
