Integrate impact circles into the way you facilitate change & innovation.
HOW CIRCLES WORK - UNDERLYING LOGIC
The setup logic is consistent...
All impact circles follow a shared framework logic independent of whether they are online or offline. The default format is related to an analogy in sports.
Circuit Training - similar features:
-
VARIETY: there are multiple prepared stations or spots for various exercises
-
TIME INVEST: single-focus exercises only require few minutes of activity
-
ENERGY: completing a round is immersive and provides a sense of accomplishment
-
PROGRESS: there are multiple levels dedicated to universally relevant aspects
-
HANDS-ON: neuro-sensory warmups & cooldowns add a physical element to the otherwise mental & conversational focus
Certainly, other analogies could be applied such as the hero's journey, personality type grids and other suitable patterns.

TOPICS
Each circle focuses on a future-facing topic.
You can either choose from already created circles or have us adapt them to your needs. For a new topic, we'll create a new circle.
Topic types can be clustered as follows:
-
Subject-matter
(i.e. electric drive) -
Methodology or Approach
(i.e. transformation) -
Role-specific
(i.e. grooming high potentials)
LEVELS
Each circle has multiple levels - each with the following universally relevant consideration filters:
-
Basics
-
Perspectives
-
Sustainability
-
Quality Interactions
-
Effectiveness
While these filters have proven to be useful for most topics and use cases, the could certainly be changed with another crescendo sequence.
EXERCISES
Each level has a limited number of exercises -each with the following universally relevant practice types:
-
knowledge
-
topical wording
-
ranking & positioning
-
conversation starters
-
behavior tracking
-
insight sharing
-
...
ROUNDS
Each circle has 2 rounds - the second building on the essence of the first.
-
Round 1 - getting involved
-
Round 2 - taking it further
NEURO-HACKS
For warmup and cooldown in between levels, rounds and sometimes even exercises, each circle offers short, simple and yet effective repetitive tasks that help with:
-
energizing
-
brainstorming
-
reflecting
-
focusing
-
broadening vision
-
rejuvenating
-
calming
-
