About Go to Market Impact
Helping visionary leaders accelerate momentum
For decades our founder, Susan Schramm has worked with Fortune 500 corporations, small businesses, nonprofits, and faith-based communities, helping visionary leaders turn big ideas into reality.
But she kept seeing the same painful pattern:
even brilliant strategies FAIL.
The core problem? Leaders underestimate a critical element of their strategy: the people who have to take action.
That’s why Susan created the DE-RISK SYSTEM FOR IMPACT®
—a proven approach to address the “people side of risk” that derails most strategic initiatives.
Clients say she brings the energy, clarity and experience to help them get things moving when the stakes are high.
Whether you need a spark or a plan, or a reset, we will walk along with you to avoid the traps and build results that last.
