Transformative Change Consulting

Using a unique combination of experience and expertise, we create collaborative environments considering the diverse viewpoints and capabilities of internal and external stakeholders to develop strategic solutions that create long-term, sustainable transformative change toward financial goals, compliance objectives or other shared aspirational milestones. Our Transformative Change practice can uniquely unlock new potential by leveraging Stout's many financial, data, and operational practices, experience, and expertise. 

  • We recognize that each engagement is unique, and each client is unique in the challenges they face and the solutions they need. We begin each engagement focused on learning from our clients, who know their businesses, clients, customers, stakeholders, and industry best.
  • We integrate the views and perspectives of the people and organizations at the heart of every matter. We accomplish this through in-person meetings, interviews, focus groups, and surveys of internal and external stakeholders.
  • We understand that an effective, engage and collaboration organizational culture is essential to transformational change. We work closely with our clients to understand how organizational culture has prevented prior opportunities from being realized and we work collaboratively with our clients to develop pathways to sustainable culture change within the organization. 
  • We work collaboratively to gather internal and external data, research, and information to identify both practical and strategic challenges and opportunities. We understand how data and platforms can be imperfect, but also the strategies to effectively use the data that currently exist and to iteratively evolve to improve data platforms and business intelligence. 
  • Based on this constellation of information, we develop unique analyses and visualizations bringing together the quantitative and qualitative elements from all stakeholders to create innovative strategies.

This process creates highly informed, unique opportunities for transformational change. When combined with feedback processes, iterative learning systems, evaluation metrics, and strategic milestones and goal setting, these strategies result in transformative, sustainable change for our clients.
