“Something happened and a decision was made – we don’t know what it was, or why, but it caused downstream disruption and I’m unsure how to move us forward.”

THE ROOT ISSUE
Change isn’t the problem. Defining and communicating the change is.

THE SOLUTION
A shared Change-Making Blueprint – a connective framework and discipline that reinforces clarity, strengthens alignment, removes friction, accelerates action, and improves outcomes.

SESSION DETAILS
> THEMES: Organizational Design, Change Management
> WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Senior- & Mid-level leaders of fast moving, tech-shaped companies
> FORMAT: Workshop – a mix of teaching, practical exercises, and real-world stories from the trenches

WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH
> DELIVERABLE: Your Change-Making Blueprint wireframe – a practical tool for driving change and making critical decisions come to life
> OUTCOMES: Increased clarity and confidence in making change and communicating it  
> LONG-TAIL RESULTS: Improved alignment + increased adaptability of your team

Are you asking yourself any of these questions about your organization?

+ Are we clear on our long-term vision, or are we just reacting to day-to-day-demands?

+ Do our leaders share a unified direction for where the organization is headed?

+ Do we live into our mission and purpose to where it drives profitability?

+ How do we align our teams around a shared vision?

+ Do we have all the information we need to make mission-driven decisions?

+ How do we ensure our culture evolves with our strategy, not against it?

+ What’s holding us back from thinking bigger or moving faster?

Steadfast Business Consulting guides companies through these challenges to solutions.

Hi, I’m Vicki Zylstra

Founder & Owner of Steadfast Business Consulting

I’m deeply passionate about helping organizations achieve true clarity – whether it’s defining their mission, identifying their values, creating a fully vetted vision plan that drives progress, or setting strategic priorities that actually get done.

Working across these areas enables organizations to build a comprehensive, well-balanced Organizational Clarity Roadmap that fosters growth and maximizes overall performance. An intentional organization positively impacts the financial bottom line.

Throughout the course of my consulting career, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with more than 35 organizations to overcome the challenges of living into their guiding principles, embracing a vision that is both achievable and owned by the entire organization, and developing and executing strategic plans that move the organization forward.

  • “I was involved with Vicki in a strategic vision board participant. Vicki was very professional and thorough in her role. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Vicki to do another vision map or to lead a brainstorming approach to problem solving. She is very easy to work with and makes it an enjoyable experience.”

    Lou Kincaid, Citadel Consulting

  • "We are also still using our strategic vision map as a team to carry out the ideas that we had. You brought such valuable insight and guidance to our team, and we are so grateful for your contributions."

    Baylee, Hanson International

  • "The first thing I do every morning is look at our strategic vision map and remind myself of my responsibilities to the organization and stakeholders. If there is anything on my schedule for the day that is not in alignment with moving the organization forward through this plan, it comes off. Everything I do revolves around the vision plan for the organization."

    Former President, Commercial Air Handling System Manufacturer

  • "Vicki served our team in the familiar endeavor of strategic planning (business planning/vision mapping). The tools she used aided our team in 'seeing' our organization, helping us take inventory and dream, and aligning in the most meaningful way. Having Vicki alongside our team during this time in our organization’s story was such a gift, and we’re undeniably a better organization because of it today."

    Principal, Financial Services
