Moments of Impact: How to Design Strategic Conversations That Accelerate Change
By Chris Ertel and Lisa Kay Solomon
In our fast-changing world, leaders are increasingly
confronted by messy, multifaceted challenges that require collaboration
to resolve. But the standard methods for tackling these

backgrounds and perspectives. They lift participants above the fray of
daily concerns and narrow self-interest, reconnecting them to their
greater, collective purpose. And they create deep, lasting impacts that
propel organizations forward.
Drawing on decades of experience as innovation strategists, Moments of Impact unveils a simple, creative process that leaders and their teams can use to unlock solutions to their most vexing issues.
