For Sponsors & Leaders
The change program is doing its job. The structure around it isn't.
Structural Advisory for Enterprise Leaders
You approved the transformation. The results aren't holding.
You signed off on a major initiative. AI deployment, ERP modernization, operational restructuring, post-merger integration. The project team delivered. Training hit 90%. Communications went out on time. The readiness dashboard shows green.
Six months later, half the organization is working around the system. The old process is back under a different name. The ROI you projected isn't materializing. Your team tells you they need more training, more communications, more executive messaging.
They're wrong. Not about what they delivered. About what's actually broken.
The problem isn't execution. It's architecture.
Your organization's decision rights, reporting lines, resource allocation, and operating conditions were designed for the way work used to happen. The transformation asked people to work differently inside a structure that rewards the old way. The structure won. It always does.
Who decides what
The new system requires decisions to be made at a different level, by different people, on a different timeline. But the authority structure hasn't moved. The people whose workflow changed most were never given the decision rights to match.
What gets measured
The metrics still reward the old behavior. The dashboard tracks tool adoption (logins, usage rates, training completion). It doesn't track whether the operating conditions that produce the old behavior have been removed.
How the work actually flows
The old process is still running. Maybe officially, maybe as a shadow workaround. As long as it exists, it's easier than the new way. People aren't resisting change. They're following the path of least resistance.
What the middle carries
Your middle managers didn't design this change. They can't control the timeline. But they absorb every question and every fear from the frontline. They're carrying four new roles nobody redesigned their job to accommodate.
Free Diagnostics
Find out where your architecture is broken. Five minutes.
Two diagnostic assessments, one for enterprise leaders, one for operators at engineering-led organizations. Both surface the domains where your organization's architecture is working against the transformation you approved.
What happens after the diagnostic
Your results show which domains are green, amber, and red. Green domains are holding. Amber domains are at risk. Red domains are actively producing the behavior you're trying to change.
Investigate further on your own: Your OCM team can run the detailed Practitioner Diagnostic using the free IGNITE plugin. It opens each amber and red domain against the 83-Condition Structural Conditions Inventory.

What IGNITE does for leaders like you
We don't run the change program. Your team or your consulting partner does that. We work on what the change program was never designed to solve.
We name the specific structural decisions that only you can make. Decision rights, authority redesign, resource reallocation, operating condition changes.
We surface what the change program cannot resolve. Before it costs you six months of stalled adoption.
We design the conditions so adoption becomes the path of least resistance. Not an act of individual heroism.
We work directly with you on the decisions that make the transformation irreversible.

How IGNITE engagements work
Adoption
For sponsors who need the change program executed with structural rigor
IGNITE runs the full OCM program: communications, training, stakeholder engagement, readiness, go-live support. Every artifact names the operating conditions the program cannot resolve on its own. Every SteerCo surfaces the decisions that sit above the program.
Starting at $90K
Permanence
For sponsors who need the structural architecture redesigned
Miguel works directly with you on the systemic decisions that make the result irreversible. Redesigns decision rights, authority structures, resource allocation, metrics, and operating conditions so the new behavior becomes the default.

Operator Path
For frontier-tech operators who want to stress test in production
Same 14 structural domains. Same conditions. Not assessed in a conference room — stress tested against live production workflows. Sprint-based cycles: Run → Map failures → Fix conditions → Verify. Repeats until the failure rate stabilizes.
Sprint-based
Why this is different from what you've tried
Most change management programs measure what they did. They don't measure what changed. They track training completion, not whether the operating conditions that produce the old behavior have been removed.
IGNITE starts where those programs stop. We built a Methodology Comparison Matrix that scores six major frameworks against 16 evaluation criteria. The patterns are clear: most frameworks stop at awareness, skill, and motivation. Few address the operating conditions that determine permanence.

If you have a change management team — internal or consulting partners — they can install the IGNITE Change Management Plugin today. Free. No subscription. No trial.
19 commands covering the full engagement lifecycle. Every output names the limit of the change program. When your team surfaces structural gaps they can't address from their level, they bring them to you with specifics.
