Delivery Partners

How does Changegoat deliver real value without being a real “know-it-all”? Over the past 14 years we have developed a broad network of relationships with those with deep industry knowledge and subject matter expertise. This trusted network enables us to work with a diverse set of clients across a number of problem sets in order to bring unique solutions to life.

Approach

  • Adaptive vs. Rigid Thinking

    Adaptive thinking uses imagination, mental models, and systemic reasoning to expand and explore what could be in order to create real-world outcomes that benefit the customer. Adaptive thinking is energized by an execution bias, rooted in continuous learning, and designed for humanity. It involves both analysis and imagination.

  • Conversational vs. Dictatorial

    We have never met a self-titled expert we liked. We know our craft, but the posture of the expert is defensive, fixed, and slows learning. Our posture is conversational and driven by co-discovery and co-creation. Our goal is to never colonize your creativity or ostracize your teams. We learn and grow as we engage with you.

  • Cultivation vs. Prefabrication

    How many times has a firm dropped off a pre-fab expert solution at your door only for it to sit there never to be integrated, owned, or implemented with lasting success? Organizations are social systems. This means we focus as much attention on developing the capabilities and capacity of your team as we do the processes and technology.

  • Provocation vs. Presentation

    We have all experienced the proliferation of slide decks, infographics, and scripted talks. If you feel that one more PowerPoint will do the trick, we are not for you. We see the greatest opportunity to bring real impact by provoking you and your teams to imagine new ideas, processes, and solutions. We are safe, friendly, and fun, but we do poke.
