What We Do

We help organisations create change that's better.

By working with leaders to build their change leadership capability, we leave them with the mindset and skills for the behaviours required in the future of work, where high performing teams are even more critical for business success.   

We also specialise in the integration of Humans & AI in the workplace so that it's done in an intelligent way.

How we deliver value

Through decades of experience in organisational change, we know what practically works in businesses.

We partner with you to create clarity of what's changing and the why so you have a deep awareness and understanding of the changes required, the impacts, the complexity and the enablers and barriers for the change.  

Our approach is grounded in the neuroscience and psychology of behaviour change coupled with change delivery practices which enable us to support leaders to drive effective change in organisations.  

We deliver value by helping leaders avoid the wasted energy and cost that is unnecessarily generated from introducing intelligent technologies into an organisational environment that hasn’t yet built trust and transitioned to the culture, skills and structure required for success.

Simplify the Complex

We know creating any kind of change in organisations can be challenging,  overly complex and overwhelming.  Especially when adopting AI. It can be difficult for leaders to know how best to navigate new types of change as well as the volume and pace of change. We see many issues arising from a lack of thoughtful planning of the human and technology integration points.  This results in unnecessary fear and disruption, creating further ambiguity and waste.  Taking you further away from profitable business outcomes.

We synthesise and simplify the complexity and build a brain friendly strategy for how to successfully create change in your business - getting buy-in from your people and helping identify the best leadership habits, cultural attributes and organisational structure for success.

Leverage AI

Technology is only as good as the way it is used … by people. If your team don’t understand the future of their work and how this will change their work and career path, or they feel excluded because digital literacy for AI hasn’t been on your organisation’s capability pathway, then your intelligent technology will likely hit a human bottleneck.

Our AI Readiness Diagnostic and Roadmap provides tailored insights as to how ready your business is, to get the value from AI. We also give you information, tailored for your specific context about: your potential wins, opportunities and watch outs (WOW), so you have an intelligent pathway forward.

We help your leaders provide clarity of what’s changing as well how to build digital literacy and a shared understanding, so that AI is used in the organisation in an intelligent way, and you can get the full value out of your investment.

Through our partner ecosystem, we effectively integrate people, process and technology ensuring that the change is `done with’ the business rather than `to the business’, super-charging engagement and delivering long term ROI.

Elevate Performance

Being a leader in a high performing team has never been more important. With the introduction of intelligent technologies, there's more focus and pressure on leaders to work as allys who are aligned to an enterprise way of thinking. We know  what's needed and how to help leaders build their allyship. Our High Performing Team Framework makes it easy for leaders to understand what's needed in a simple and memorable format. Which makes it easy for them to make the right decision in the moment. 

We’re passionate about building independence in others to be better leaders of change. Practically this means we work with leaders to build their change leadership capability to lead themselves and others through change that's a better experience.

We engaged with Leisa and Debra on several initiatives. Concepts like change, stakeholder engagement and the way in which we understand our stakeholders was super important to the team. This was an area where we engaged Leisa and Debra to help us build a bit more of a language toolbox, thinking to help us succeed as we start to work through our day -to -day capabilities and responsibilities, but also to better engage our stakeholders at all levels. It was something that we practiced as well, which was really helpful.In the couple of months since, we've actually seen particularly some of the team members who've had no exposure to these concepts or skills actually start applying those and start to see the results of their labour, which has been really good for us.
Daniella, GCISO, WesFarmers
“What I truly appreciate about Debra and Leisa's work, is their understanding of teams and individual behaviours.  An understanding of both is essential to execute successful change. Debra and Leisa are able to speak to both with confidence, relevance and backed by the relevant science and research. Their ability to simply identify and explain patterns and resistors to change at both a team and individual level allows for great discussions and ultimately outcomes.”
Daniel, CEO, BGL
“Throughout our partnership, Adaptive Change Mindset brought a range of tools and frameworks to help our people build their resilience and navigate significant change in the workplace. These concepts were deployed extensively in the leadership teams, to help unify, align and generate a sense of energy for the opportunities for both our people as well as the wider organisation. The formal training sessions delivered by Leisa continued to use the concept values-driven conversations as a consistent language to navigate challenges and decisions, as well as serve as a framework for the individual coaching sessions, which was a key initiative in embedding the behavioural change in our leaders and ensuring the ongoing success of our teams well beyond the conclusion of this engagement.”
Andrew, Digital Innovation Studio Lead, Avanade
“I worked with Leisa and Debra Panipucci in my Head of Risk Role at UniSuper.  What instantly struck me in working with both of them was their passion, compassion and ability to connect the dots and see the big picture.  We worked on a number organisational change and development projects and through each of these areas they helped build a clear frame for the problem we were solving and shape a human centred approach for working through it.  It meant that solutions were adopted with little to no resistance, were commended by all involved as they knew what it meant for them and helped embed the change because the people owned it. It was inspiring to see such powerful approach delivered in a structured yet subtle way and truly helped me build my own change leadership through this time.  
Ruby, Former Chief Risk & Compliance Officer, UniSuper
“Leisa is the best Change Advisor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She is one of those rare individuals who can see the strategy and be across the detail enough to create the best approach to execute. That is also why the change programs she delivers are so successful." ​​
Nathalie, Former Group Manager, Programs Transformations and Operations​, Avanade
“Big thank you to Deb and everyone whose been involved …the amount of time and effort that went into the preparation, really paid dividends today in terms of the outcomes we’ve had… I felt really prepared.”​​

Our Leadership team

We’ve been working in the space of AI change since 2019 and we love it.

From day 1, we could see that increasingly complex tasks were starting to be delegated to AI systems, and the role of AI in work collaborations was changing rapidly. Through our work with clients across a wide range of industries, we have seen AI start to evolve from a technology used as a tool, to becoming an employee’s teammate.

Having held senior positions in large organisations and worked in delivering transformational organisational change for decades, we understand the pressures that leaders are under to deliver value faster and with minimal disruption. 

We value working in partnership and building trusted relationships that extend beyond the initial engagement.
