interchange

Everybody’s had experiences where they’ve had some big success in their life, and they’ve looked back and realized it was just one or two small things that they did. If you’d known to do that early on – one phone call, a dinner with one person – it would have saved a hell of a lot of effort.

But it doesn't have to be left to chance.

The point is you can find those things in advance.

Dr. James Wilk Asked This Question Over 50 Years Ago

Is it possible (in theory or even more importantly, in practice)—and if so, how—to pinpoint in advance, the smallest intervention into any system that would trigger a flip from the existing state of the system to any other possible state of the system; most intriguingly of all, from some existing state-of-affairs to the desired state-of-affairs?

And he found that the answer is YES!

WHO WE ARE

Interchange equips decision-makers to create permanent, desired change very, very fast.

Over the course of nearly half a century, Interchange has developed its proprietary scientific methodology, Minimalist Intervention™(“MI”), through decades of dedicated in-house scientific research on change by leading investigators from around the world.

HOW INTERCHANGE WORKS

Clients meet individually and confidentially with Interchange advisers, typically every six or seven weeks, for a Minimalist Intervention™ design session of as short as three hours, to work on a business challenge that the client brings for consideration.

Interchange advisers provide the proprietary intellectual capital of the Minimalist Intervention™ methodology—half of the know-how required for minimalist intervention design—while our clients provide the other half: their company and industry expertise, strategic knowledge, and in-depth understanding of their organization.

This detailed analysis strips away the complexities to reveal, in each case, a rich field of latent possibilities and otherwise invisible new options. The final analysis reveals the smallest set of specific, easy, concrete actions that the client is certain will flip the current situation into the desired situation in the shortest time possible, at the lowest cost, and with the least risk… even in such notoriously delicate areas as corporate culture.

This process has proven that major change can be achieved in far less time, with greater precision, at much lower cost, with less resistance, and with far less financial risk than conventional wisdom currently supposes.

PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE

For over 35years Interchange has collaborated with CEOs and C-level executives to effectively resolve significant business issues, capture new opportunities, and achieve ambitious goals swiftly and reliably. Clients have successfully deployed MI as their “secret weapon” on major challenges, as well as on eliminating the stubbornly persistent hassles tying up every top executive’s time.

The Interchange team’s track record of accomplishment is unrivaled in enabling top executives to make rapid advances, dissolve intractable problems, and reach highly challenging business targets seemingly overnight,

creating lasting, mission-critical, change successfully in seemingly impossible fast time frames, with minimal risk and with unrivaled precision.

Interchange’s hands-on experience of accelerating corporate growth spans many major business sectors and industries and does not rely on its own industry knowledge.

Clients often describe their work with Interchange as a means of clarifying, leveraging, and amplifying their own thinking.

Interchange advisers guide clients through the interventions by relentlessly posing questions to the client.

These simple questions, unique to every session, are carefully sequenced to separate the essentials from the nice-to-haves, identify unnecessary abstractions, and expose unhelpful assumptions.

When you’re at a minimalist intervention design session, we’re dealing with such mundane, ordinary pieces of life that if you’re watching the work, it looks boring.

The older I get, the more I'm conscious of ways very small things can make a change in the world. Tiny little things, but the world is made up of tiny matters, isn't it?

—Sandra Cisneros

Over the years, I’ve brought in countless consultants and advisers and each of them helped us a lot with individual pieces of a puzzle. What was different about Interchange was they changed the puzzle.
