Transformation begins with a conversation

What happens when 200 senior executives from leading global companies are asked a seemingly simple question?


Their answers reveal a tension between ambition and reality in organisational transformation. And the conversations go beyond corporate theatre to help us see where we want to go and how that differs from where we are today.


As change becomes the norm, the ability to hold these conversations becomes a core leadership capability. At Implement Consulting Group, we’ve spent 30 years helping our clients have these conversations, move forward with purpose, and shape directions that people actually want to follow.


Who we are

We come from a heritage of flat hierarchies and a low power distance, and we believe – in fact, we know – that the odds of success radically improve when change makes sense on a personal level for the people involved.

1996
It all started with the dream of helping organisations succeed with their most important change initiatives.
2002

One key pillar of our culture is the constant desire to become better at what we do – and to help others do the same. We founded Implement Learning Institute to train and develop project managers and employees across the private and public sectors.

2009

Thought Leaders began as an internal event. In 2009 we opened it to our wider community, with John Kotter on leading change in tough conditions.

2014

With the Danish Industry Foundation and Aarhus University, we co-developed Half Double, a hybrid project management approach built on impact, flow, and leadership. The aim: double the impact in half the time.

2017

From fragile to agile: at Thought Leaders 2017, Herminia Ibarra, Gary Hamel, and Jim Hagemann Snabe showed how leadership that creates followership makes organisations more agile.

2021

We launched Changing Conversations, a podcast that brings together business leaders, management thinkers, and academics to discuss how change happens, for us as humans and for organisations.

2026

At our third operations event, a record 1,200 participants joined us and Wharton’s Ethan Mollick to explore how AI delivers real operational impact when technology, ways of working, and people evolve together.

 

In 2026 we turned 30. Three decades on, we still believe transformation begins with a conversation.
