Momentum, Not Miracles: How Small Steps Lead to Big, Sustainable Change Management

Implementing the ACT! Leadership System for Lasting Organizational Momentum

When undertaking major organizational change management, leaders often seek the "magic bullet"—a large-scale, external solution that promises immediate transformation. However, true change is only achieved through sustainable change management built on internal capability and continuous organizational momentum.

The Pitfall of the External Playbook

As client feedback confirms, consultancies often create playbooks that fail as soon as they leave because the solutions are not owned internally. Sustainable change requires equipping your own leaders.

The ACT! System offers deep expertise and practical tools tailored to fit your context, enabling you to make solutions your own and sustain the change.

The Small Steps Big Impact Principle

The philosophy behind our approach, encapsulated in the book Momentum: Small Steps Lead to Big Impact, is that highly practical, quickly implementable steps are far more effective than massive, disruptive overhauls.

This focus on Small Steps Big Impact allows leaders to:

• Build Confidence: Achieve immediate, tangible results.

• Sustain Engagement: Keep teams motivated through continuous progress.

• Create Momentum: Use early wins to propel larger, more complex transformations.
