Business Transformational Consulting with Jordan Bower
In a changing world, your business needs the skills and abilities to innovate, refocus, engage and adapt.
I can help you master the art of creative leadership, empowering you to redefine how your business operates.
To lead an organization today, you don’t just need new solutions. You actually need to become a different person.
In the old world, leaders were operator-managers who were responsible for defining a vision and keeping everyone on track. In the new world of uncertainty, volatility and perpetual change, the core concept of leadership is in the process of evolving. Today, leaders must embody new characteristics and abilities so they can guide others towards the goals that work now requires. This is a transformation in business systems; it is also a transformation in leadership identity.
My work as a transformational consultant is about helping leaders understand and move through this global shift, in a way that is tailored to you and your business:
From managing to inspiring
From operating to innovating
From planning to imagining
From directing to catalyzing
From controlling to coaching
From conforming to expressing your individuality and creativity
“We can’t solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them.”
— Albert Einstein
Technological disruption is outpacing the capacity of many organizations and workers to imagine new ways of working that get the best out of both humans and technology. Consequently, many organizations may soon be facing an imagination deficit. To prevent this deficit, organizations will need to scale and operationalize the cultivation of distinctly human capabilities like curiosity, empathy, and creativity, and they should give workers and teams the autonomy to use these to shape the kinds of work they do.

Business Transformational Consulting Process:
1. Discovery
During this initial phase, I’ll help you look at your organization through a human dynamics lens, uncovering the breadth and scope of the transformation. Discovery includes interviews, research, and collaborative creative sessions that help you unpack the issues—while also reimaging in your vision of success.
2. Creative Incubators
Unlike traditional change management, which quickly determines a solution and then moves into a planning phase, my approach is all about helping you develop your creative abilities, so that you—and, by extension, your business—can envision a reality that was invisible before we began the process. These creative incubators appear, on the outside, like coaching calls and facilitated meetings. In reality, they are dynamic transformational shifts that will get you thinking and working in more innovative ways.
3. Planning & Recalibration
The next part of the process moves into reimagining your business structures and systems. I’ll help you use visionary planning processes like Backcasting that enable you to work backwards from an optimal outcome—subverting existing leadership assumptions, biases and blind spots in the process. You’ll see what needs to change and develop the skills that will allow you to change it sustainably.
4. Integrating Change Throughout Your Team
I’ll help you build buy-in, alignment and belief by facilitating unique transformational events and retreats. In these experiences, your team will not just understand the conceptual goal of the change; they will also move through a transformational experience themselves, so they can better integrate the change emotionally—and translate that experience into new ways of working together.
5. Retrospective
Today, when change is continual, the end of every transformational process is the beginning of the next one. I will help you build transformation as a capability, ending our journey together by helping you envision and plan what comes next.
