The Organizational Change Compass
Navigate Change with Intention, Empathy, and Care
Organizational transitions are defining moments that impact people's lives, shape team dynamics, and influence your organizational culture for years to come. The Organizational Change Compass™ helps forward-thinking organizations honor both their business needs and their human commitments during times of transition.
Our Comprehensive Approach
The Organizational Change Compass provides a structured yet flexible framework for navigating organizational transitions with intention and care.
For Organizations Experiencing:
Restructuring and reorganization
Budget-driven workforce changes
Strategic realignment
Department mergers or shifts
Leadership transitions
We Provide:
-
Decision-making frameworks, communication guidance, and leadership coaching to navigate complex transitions while demonstrating organizational values.
-
Tools, training, and support for those holding space for both departing and remaining team members while managing their own responses to change.
-
Comprehensive coaching for impacted team members through our three-session framework focused on processing, envisioning what's next, and tactical support.
Why a Human-Centered Approach Matters
When organizations prioritize care during transitions, they create ripple effects that benefit both people and business outcomes:
For your departing team members, thoughtful transitions provide space to process change, recognize contributions, and move forward with dignity and support.
For your remaining team, intentional approaches maintain trust, preserve psychological safety, and demonstrate organizational values in action.
For your leadership team, structured support helps navigate complex decisions while maintaining team cohesion and operational continuity.
Our Unique Three-Session Framework
Each impacted team member receives personalized support through our proven framework:
Session I: Reflection + Processing Space
A confidential space for team members to process organizational change with professional guidance. Through structured reflection, participants explore emotional responses while beginning to envision future possibilities and develop resilience strategies.
Session II: Envisioning What's Next
An action-oriented session focused on future pathways. Participants engage in career visioning and goal-setting, supported by skills assessment and strengths exploration. We develop clear professional development plans and network activation strategies.
Session III: Tactical Support
A practical session translating insights into action. Based on individual needs, we provide focused guidance on resume development, interview preparation, or negotiation strategies, ensuring participants leave with a clear plan and refined professional narrative.
Why Just Good Advisors
Having guided organizations through numerous transitions, we've sat across from leaders wrestling with difficult decisions and witnessed firsthand how these moments define organizational legacies. We understand the weight you carry—balancing business necessities with the very human impact of change.
Our approach draws on extensive experience in organizational development, racial equity, and human-centered leadership. We've been there ourselves and worked alongside executives who, like you, know that how you lead through transitions shapes both immediate outcomes and long-term culture.
We understand that transitions are more than operational changes—they're deeply personal journeys for everyone involved. The sleepless nights. The difficult conversations. The questions about whether you're doing the right thing, in the right way.
What sets us apart:
Deep understanding of organizational culture and change, informed by real-world experience
Expertise in emotional literacy that helps leaders navigate complex feelings while maintaining presence
Proven frameworks for ethical decision-making that balance multiple stakeholder needs
Commitment to equity-driven transformation that ensures all voices are valued
Track record of building psychological safety, even through challenging transitions
We believe that with the right support, these challenging moments can become powerful demonstrations of your values in action—strengthening trust and creating foundations for your organization's next chapter.
