Are you a strategy, change management, innovation, design thinking, or reinvention professional looking for a kick-ass expert community to take your career to the next level?

WHY COMPANIES SINK

Activating Your Reinvention Foundation

This is where you'll create a bulletproof foundation for dealing with any change, disruption, and disaster - again and again - with confidence, a sense of ease, and lasting results. 

Remember, the main reason you get overwhelmed with all the tools and elements of successful reinvention is that they aren't rooted in a SOLID foundation and consistent approach.

By the time you are finished with Module 1, you will be able to diagnose the level of change readiness in your business and build a powerful foundation for many reinventions to come.

This entire journey starts with a powerful metaphor borrowed from one of the most famous disasters of recent history - the Titanic.

A mysterious condition is destroying companies, leaving shattered careers in its wake. That condition is Titanic Syndrome. It occurs when companies and individuals bring about their own downfall through arrogance, excessive attachment to past success, or blind trust in the status quo.

Why is this happening, and how can you stay afloat?

• WHAT REALLY SANK THE TITANIC, AND HOW TO PREVENT YOUR ORGANIZATION FROM GOING UNDER: Why did the Titanic go under? We use factual stories involving the infamous disaster as a metaphor for corporate disruption and guide you through exercises that will help you avoid a similar fate. Your course workbook will be particularly handy here for your own growth - and then you can use the same guide to organize high-impact team discussions in your organization. And if the workbook is not enough or you like to go the extra mile - you will also get a copy of the entire new book “Titanic Syndrome: Why Companies Sink and How to Reinvent Your Way Out of Any Business Disaster!”
  
  
• THE TITANICS OF THE 21ST CENTURY: The Titanic story is over 100 years old, so why does the world still talk about it today? In this lesson, you will explore stories of corporate disasters from the 21st century and discover why some business titans have sunk to the bottom of the economic ocean. The result? You will get a chance to learn from their mistakes - and avoid their destiny.
  
  
• WHY TITANIC SYNDROME IS KILLING MORE BUSINESSES TODAY THAN EVER: While the name “Titanic Syndrome” is new, the disease is not. So why should we care about it now more than ever? Looking at proprietary data collected by our team, along with additional studies by McKinsey and others, We will show you the “new normal” your business has to adapt to. This data-backed benchmark will give you a solid foundation for making reinvention a priority - and if you are struggling to convince a client or a boss - give you some powerful numbers to use as a take-no-prisoner argument. 

• TITANIC SYNDROME EPIDEMIC: ARE YOU INFECTED? How do you know if you and your company are suffering from Titanic Syndrome? Together we will explore key symptoms to watch out for and give you a field-test assessment tool you can download and use in your business.

WHAT TO DO TO STAY AFLOAT

Developing a Variety of Reinventions for You to Choose From - and Then Making a Right Choice for the Start

In Module 1, you’ve set down your foundation for successful reinvention, got tons of insights on the speed of change that impacts your organization every day, and are now able to diagnose a threat to your business. Now what?

It is time to add some major horsepower to your transformation engine by moving from “why” to “what” of business reinvention. Here, you will clarify what exactly reinvention is and how to combine incremental and radical change for maximum results.

Even if you think you have never reinvented your business, this module will show you 15 different ways you can do it today! We are ready to bet you will discover that you have already successfully accomplished at least some of them - which will finally make you feel confident about reinventing at the level of scale, speed, and power you have not allowed yourself before!

• REINVENTION: EMERGENCY RESUSCITATION FOR YOUR COMPANY: We started this course exploring the new corporate reality in which change and disruption are the only constant. We explored how Titanic Syndrome - which occurs when companies bring about their own downfall due to arrogance and over-complacency - is more dangerous than ever. Now that we are clear about the problem, it is time to talk about the solution. In this lesson, you’ll discover the best practices across industries and geographies that help companies get the unmatched, change-driven competitive advantage. Reinvention is at the core of these stories.
  
  
• WHY REINVENTION, WHY NOT INNOVATION? The world is in love with innovation. We worship innovators and celebrate their creative acts. So why would I put our bet on a completely different idea: reinvention? Building on science that has stood the test of time - the 1962 Law of Diffusion of Innovation - I share the theoretical underpinnings of their choice and then guide you through an exercise to see why the practice of reinvention works better than the practices of innovation.
  

• THE RECOVERY: GETTING YOUR BUSINESS BACK ON ITS FEET: Reinvention comes in many forms. In this lesson, I will reveal 15+ ways to create breakthrough reinventions in your business - and give you specific examples to start you on your recovery journey. A handy download is for you to practice with. One cool tool you get here is a full set of 25 Business Model Reinvention Cards to use for yourself - and take to your team or your client’s strategic workshop.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR COMPANY (AND YOUR CAREER) WATERTIGHT

Strengthening Your Ability to Execute & Deliver

You’ve set your foundation, you’ve added some horsepower, and you’re now ready to take things to a whole new level with a wide variety of reinvention options to choose from. Now it is time for the module you all have been waiting for: the how of reinvention.

Many of you will be tempted to start here, but I PROMISE you, going through the first two modules and doing the work in the right sequence will make the insights below exponentially powerful.

Here is what you’ll soon be implementing in your organization:

• BUILD A HEALTHY REINVENTION CYCLE: For most of the 20th century, change happened very rarely, so we could treat it as a rare time-bound project. But when change happens every few minutes, successful reinvention is no longer a project; it is a continuous process. In this lesson, I share how to build a healthy reinvention cycle: a powerful process to be repeated over and over again with power, speed, and lasting results.
  
  
• CONSISTENT STRATEGY IN A VOLATILE WORLD: WHAT ARE WE TO DO? The field of strategy is all about consistency. You choose a direction, and you stick with it. Yet, with today’s speed of change, how should we approach strategy in a world that is so volatile and unpredictable?  Drawing on two distinct schools of strategy, deliberate and emergent, I offer you insights on how to reinvent your strategic thinking - so that you can take that to your team, clients, or your boss.
  
  
• DEVELOP NEW REINVENTION MUSCLES FOR YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS: When change is the only constant, developing strong competencies for successful renewal is a must. In this lesson, I focus on five competencies that are crucial for serial reinventors:  IQ, EQ, PQ, AQ & VQ. Do you know what each of these acronyms stands for? Dive right in!

SO WHAT? HOW DO YOU GO FROM IDEA TO ACTION?

Getting It Done

You have gone through the “why,” the “what,” and the “how” of reinvention. So what?

The answer to that question is in your hands. Now it is time to go from idea to action - and put all the great insights into tangible, lasting outcomes.

In this implementation module, I will challenge you with a clear assignment that will make you uncomfortable - but allow you to grow. The time for exploring is over. Now you act.

Here’s how we will get things done:

• WHAT NOW? In the concluding video lesson of the course, I share final thoughts for making this experience a true start of your personal reinvention journey and give you your final challenge, the final piece of homework designed to take you to the next level. You've Got This!
  
  
• CHALLENGE 1: Building on the final motivational push, I will dare you to fully digest all the reinvention knowledge by sharing it with somebody else. Research is conclusive: the best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else. You will be challenged to do your first reinvention workshop - breathe, we will support you every step of the way!!!
  
  
• CHALLENGE 2: Now that you have fully digested the ideas and made them yours, it is time to crack the first real reinvention - by choosing, designing, and executing your first mini-reinvention. Low-hanging fruits are what we will look for here - so that you can walk before you run. You will finish the challenge and the course ready for anything that life throws your way!

Assuming you want a proven strategy for surviving and thriving in the uncertain fast-changing world, then yes!

The Reinvention Method was designed for businesses large and small - but since its inception, over 5,000 people have successfully used it for personal reinvention, career reinvention, family reinvention, non-profit reinvention, community reinvention, and much more. The US State of North Dakota now has even appointed a Chief Reinvention Officer!

If you are ready to make reinvention your super-power, this is a method for you.

I am SO glad you asked that!

The Global Alliance of Reinvention Professionals is not a change management course - it is a business strategy and survival program.

As such, it brings together foundational knowledge across many disciplines and gives you a whole-picture view of your business, your career, and that of your clients and partners.

Essentially, the Alliance gives you three things in one - theoretical knowledge via the Breakthrough Reinvention course plus practical support via monthly sessions, live Q&As, and an ongoing community ready to catch you if you fall.

The result? Powerful momentum driving change to results - again and again!

How did our reinvention methodology come about?

With a Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior, change management has always been my home ground. But when I left academia and started my own reinvention agency, I was surprised to see how limited I was if only the tools of change management were applied.

Working “in the trenches,” I realized that the only way to make things work is to blend together a powerful cocktail of strategy, innovation, design thinking, agility, continuous improvement, organizational development - and change management.

This program gives you a chance to do the same with confidence and ease.

Nope. I’ve seen them too.

And it makes NO sense to me.

Successful reinvention is FOUNDATIONAL.

The speed of change we live in today makes this skill THE required skill of the 21st century.

The whole point of creating a strong foundation with this course is so that you can start to generate consistent reinvention results, which will allow you then (if you so choose) re-invest into other advanced training programs that take you even further - while helping your team, your company, your community to survive the incoming disruptions and turn them into new opportunities.

For years, I have shared this knowledge behind closed doors at board meetings or executive education retreats. But it is clear that the world is in desperate need of reinvention - and we need to make our efforts radically inclusive.

That’s why with The Global Alliance of Reinvention Professionals, I want to give you a truly transformational experience at an investment that you can actually afford right now.

If anything, your STELLAR Reinvention Club experience starts with a more comprehensive, up-to-date, and easy-to-follow program than the ones that sell for 3-5X the price. But it does not stop there. Our Deep Dives, Alumni Masterminds and Live Q&As are designed to make sure you don't just start well - but you keep going with power, ease, and remarkable results.

Change and disruption do not choose what department or business unit to knock on. Whether you are in finance, operations, marketing, supply change management, R&D, or accounting, disruption shows up unexpectedly - and you still have to deal with it.

I know you probably did not go to business to deal with constant change. For many, it is not top of the mind or even exciting - it is frustrating and deeply distracting from your real job. You probably rather be reading about your field of expertise - but you are here for a reason.

Like it or not, you don’t have a choice: in today’s world, strong reinvention skill is a foundational knowledge, much like reading, writing, math, or computer skills.

The Global Alliance of Reinvention Professionals is designed for anybody connected to the world of business - so I don’t use any terminology or framework that is specific to any function, industry, or geography.

Whatever function, business unit, industry, or country you come from, whether you work for an organization, consult, train, coach, or run your own business, this is a membership program that gives you a new calm in the world of endless storms and disasters.

Your journey with The Global Alliance of Reinvention Professionals starts with an immersive 4-week online learning program that offers you a perfect opportunity to re-boot and reinvent. The core course includes extensive pre-recorded videos, an e-book, and hands-on assignments.

Each module is released once a week. After the release, the videos are viewable at any time, and they can be paused, fast-forwarded, and re-watched as many times as you'd like.

Along with the videos, the course offers a downloadable PDF e-book with hands-on exercises that you can use to supplement the videos.

To help you go from theory to practice, a variety of live events (which always take place on Thursdays at different times to allow for our global participants to join in) provide ongoing support and guidance.

At any time, you can use the Members-Only Facebook Group to share your thoughts, ask for advice on your own challenges, and provide feedback to others.

The path to mastery in any field is through intentional repetition. This is why for as long as the Alliance is in existence and you are a member, you can come back to the Breakthrough Reinvention course or any Alliance session year after year at no additional charge.

Many of our members watch or listen to the live sessions on REPLAY. It's so convenient. You can pop on our private members' area (which is accessible for your computer or in a mobile version) and watch the video replay or listen to the audio whenever you have time to listen. Most people do not listen to "every" single video and live stream. We organize them by type so you can pick and choose what is relevant to you.

Many people who take our reinvention courses get their companies to cover the fee.

The Global Alliance of Reinvention Professionals offers unique value not only to you as the individual enrolled, but helps your employer, client, or partner become more successful at dealing with change and disruption.

To make the case to your boss, we suggest you prepare a mini-proposal that answers these specific questions:

1. How will this training affect your current projects or role?

Just-in-time training is much more valuable than generalized training, but the catch is that if someone doesn’t immediately use it, the retention of that information diminishes rapidly over time. Your employer wants to know how you will use what's learned earlier in the morning on corporate projects this afternoon.

Your "pitch" should be tailored to your specific manager. If your boss is the CEO, we suggest that you highlight the value of managing change in the organization. If your boss is a manager of a function or in middle management, we invite you to speak more specifically about how it helps the tasks you’re currently responsible for.

2. Why is this program particularly useful and cost-effective?

Your managers are expected to make sound investment decisions, so it is only natural that they want you to make a business case.

While our content is unique and is based on our own proprietary research, we are not the only ones teaching at the intersection of strategy, innovation, and change management.

We are proud of our content and confident in our pricing - that is why we suggest that you offer a comparison to similar courses (online and face-to-face) to show why The Global Alliance of Reinvention Professionals is the best choice for you.

3. Are you willing to present to your peers a summary of the key learning outcomes from the different training sessions?

To make a sound decision, your boss must see that after you finish The Global Alliance of Reinvention Professionals, you can clearly offer one of these outcomes to your team and the organization as a whole:

• “Watch what I learned how to do.”
• "I’ve validated how we are doing things.”
• “We need to change what we are doing.”

Yes, absolutely! All the live sessions are held on ZOOM; no Facebook required. For the course and replays, we have a great private member site where you can comment and ask questions.

The Global Alliance of Reinvention Professionals has a ton of resources for you to help you build your reinvention muscles. But, the BEST part is we have everything in an on-the-go format. You can watch the video replays or listen to everything in an audio format. Many Alliance members never attend the sessions live; they just listen when they are shopping, doing laundry, exercising, or waiting in traffic.

And, the program is self-paced. There's no KEEPING up. You do the lessons and invest as much time as you feel needed at the moment. That's it. I don't make reinvention complicated. I make reinvention fit your lifestyle.

We are 100% committed to this program and have such belief in your ability to benefit from it that we offer a risk-free, no questions asked, “Try it, test it, apply it” guarantee: a full refund up to 14 days after purchase.

By the end of these 14 days, you will already receive the first 2 modules of the Breakthrough Reinvention course on the WHY and the WHAT of reinvention.

Meaning, you will have the opportunity to build the foundation for all future reinventions and get our proprietary diagnostic tool, cases of other business reinventions, and tons of exercises BEFORE making a final commitment.

If for any reason during the first two weeks of taking the course you are not satisfied, we will refund 100% of the fee, no questions asked - and you keep the digital book and downloads as our gifts.

After the 14th day, you can cancel The Global Alliance of Reinvention Professionals membership for the following month. You can request cancelation at any time.  Full details here >>
