Stories are everything. They help us understand the world and reflect on how we should live in it. They help us engage with the big unwieldy issues we encounter in our lives. At their best, they allow space for dialogue and celebrate collective experience.

In this storytelling episode, we hear from Alan Lane of Slung Low Theatre company. He shares a story of challenge, innovation and change associated with their relocation to the oldest working men’s club in Britain, The Holbeck in Leeds. Alan joins Impact’s head of creative change, Dom Fitch. Dom wrote an article about the power of storytelling, you can read that here.

A massive thank you to both Dom and Alan for taking the time to record their conversation for us.

Should we be challenging the design of technology platforms to enable more accessible, inclusive consumption? How can we harness new technologies to transform the ability for employees to learn at the pace of change?

To learn about this and more, we listen in on a conversation between Hannah Baron & Alice Wroe. Hannah leads Impact’s in house digital design agency – Zinco. She and her team were integral to the creation of Impact’s own piece of learning technology, called air- a digital tool that would allow Impact to seamlessly take experiential learning to scale and deliver in both blended and virtual solutions.

In her role as Augmented and Virtual Realities Lead for Atlantic Institute, Alice researches and commissions innovative ways the global community of leaders can be together when physically apart, exploring the question of “How can we be human when we’re digital?”

Every organisation has had to embrace the digital world in some way. Here's our story about how we've done just that. 

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.

Is your team a high performing team? What does your team need in order to achieve its purpose?

Impact's Team Performance Inventory (TPI) is an assessment tool which helps a team see its performance clearly. Using the 6 domains of our trademarked Team Performance Model, we can help you equip your teams and their leaders with the tools, mindsets, self-knowledge and reflective capacity to build teams that are a joy to work in and that will boost the productivity of your organisation.

It works. And if your teams work, so does your organisation.

It's no secret that COVID-19 has brought many challenges to our working world. With the increase of remote working, leadership is being tested. What can we do to stay more connected? What can we learn from this experience? Scott and Sue join Dan to share their experience and best practices.
