Ever wondered how a small idea planted the seed for something big? Well, let me take you on a trip down memory lane to where it all began for us at Innovative Management Tools, nearly 30 years ago.
- The Origin Story: Cards on the Wall to Conversation Frameworks
Picture this: “cards on the wall” – that’s where our journey started. Yeah, those tangible, old-school cards were taped to conference room walls, steering conversations and guiding us through the twists and turns of change management. Fast forward to 2023, and we’ve turned those humble beginnings into something groundbreaking – our interactive whiteboard collaboration tools.
In the ongoing game of Organizational Whack-a-Mole™, these cards served as the first set of mallets, hitting back challenges related to People, Process, and Planning. They weren’t just cards; they were the initial tools in our arsenal, laying the foundation for what we now proudly call “Conversation Frameworks™.”
- Battle-Tested and Business-Approved
Now, imagine tools that have faced the nitty-gritty challenges of real-world corporate landscapes, used for nearly a decade before being brought to the market. That’s the magic of our Conversation Frameworks – battle-tested solutions that are geared up to tackle the complexities of your business environment. They’ve evolved from mere cards to strategic mallets, ready to engage in the ongoing game of Organizational Whack-a-Mole.
- Digital Leap: Interactive Whiteboards
In 2023, we aren’t just keeping up with the digital era; we’re leading the charge. Our Conversation Frameworks have found a new home on interactive whiteboards,seamlessly blending the tangible with the digital. It’s like bringing the best of both worlds into your workplace – accessible, collaborative, and efficient, especially in today’s fast-paced, tech-driven setups.
- Universality Across Industries
Now, what truly sets us apart? It’s our commitment to tackling universal challenges. Whether you’re in manufacturing, tech, healthcare, or any other industry, our Conversation Frameworks are tailored to overcome those common hurdles in People, Planning, and Process – the ever-emerging moles in the game of organizational challenges.
- A Journey You Can Trust
Here’s the bottom line – our tools weren’t born in a vacuum. They’ve weathered the storms of mergers, danced through the intricacies of startups, and held companies up during both stagnation and high growth. That 30-year journey? It’s turned our tools into reliable companions for your organizational challenges.
In 2012, IMT ventured into problem-solving sales, aligning with their core problem-solving ethos. This exploration led to the integration of brain science, sales strategies, and change management into a comprehensive approach.
The global pandemic in 2020 prompted IMT to delve into neuroscience, resulting in the creation of a Problem-Solving Selling book that combines processes, brain science, coaching, storytelling, trust-building, and the buying process.
By late 2022, IMT digitized its 20-year-old change management tools, placing it at the intersection of digital change management tools, problem-solving sales, and neuroscience insights as it celebrated its 20th anniversary. This transformation reflects IMT's dedication to helping organizations navigate change and solve problems innovatively.
