Fast Track Your Big Idea! How to Navigate Risk, Move People to Action and Avoid Your Strategy Going Off Course
DEVELOPED
a proven system, De-Risk System for Impact®, to move people to action when you’re driving a new strategy
– or getting one back on track
Helping Visionary Leaders Turn Big Ideas Into Real Results
Whether you’re launching a new product, rebooting your
strategy or tackling a high‑stakes initiative, you can’t afford to get stuck or derailed.
For decades, Susan has worked with Fortune 500 corporations,
small businesses, nonprofits, and faith-based communities—helping visionary leaders move bold ideas
forward faster.
But she saw the same painful pattern again and again:
even brilliant strategies fail.
The core problem? Leaders underestimated the most critical factor: the people who have to take action.
That’s why Susan created the De‑Risk System for Impact®,
a proven approach to surface hidden risks, build alignment,
and give leaders the confidence to move from vision to
execution without losing momentum.
Our goal is simple: to walk alongside you to avoid the traps so you can make YOUR big ideas a reality.

What It Is
A practical system to spot and manage the people side of
risk—the confusion, misalignment, or resistance that quietly
stalls even the best strategies.
Why It Matters
Great ideas don’t fail on paper—they fail when people don’t
take action, align, or adapt to market changes. The system
helps you address problems before they happen
Why It’s Different
- Built for real-world leaders, not academics —no jargon, no bulky processes
- Works across roles and cultures and strategic models - speaks everyone’s language
- Action-first— builds capability, not dependency
Our Approach: The De-Risk System for Impact®
Trusted by organizations making an impact
Leaders Choose Go to Market Impact
Organizations choose Go to Market Impact because:
We see what others overlook. Plans alone don’t create results.
We tackle the people side of risk that drives—or derails—success.
We stand beside you, not in your way. Our system is practical, repeatable, and built for leaders to apply confidently—so success lasts well beyond the engagement.
We deliver results faster. Clients are often surprised by how
much we can accomplish in a short time, and often say, “We
moved further in 30 days than in a year.”
We adapt to your world. From Fortune 500s to startups, we complement your strategy process at every stage.
We leave teams stronger. Leaders walk away more confident,
capable, and aligned to sustain their strategy.
Susan’s a proven change agent and strategic thinker, leading teams to reengineer the way they work. This has resulted in shorter product development cycle times, reduced inventory levels, innovative solutions for market launch, and ultimately operational results.
