About Mike Wittenstein
As a change-management consultant, I’ve seen countless companies struggle to keep up with evolving expectations and nimbler competitors. Innovation is stifled by internal resistance and well-meaning leaders’ strategic visions aren’t as clear as they thought. I understand their frustration and their uncertainty about the future. And I know that typical mandates to ‘do more with less’ are no longer genuine attempts at change, but rather sustained avoidance of it. And when employees, leaders and board members can’t even say what their company stands for, it’s time for a new approach.
That approach is called StoryMining, my company’s proprietary toolbox of consulting, workshop and customer experience methodologies that has helped businesses around the world get unstuck and move forward. At the program’s heart are ‘future success stories,’ novel and surprisingly effective narratives for engaging executives and staff alike on a clear strategic mission. As it turns out, humans are wired for stories. Here, everyone gets to be a hero of the story by playing a key role. The result? Strategic wins, an enhanced bottom line, and memorable, shareable customer experiences.
I’ve honed my unique approach as IBM’s official eVisionary. Since then, leaders at brands like Adobe, Chick-fil-A, Apple, Transitions, LeasePlan, and Delta have brought me in for my strategic skills and warm personal style as a C-Suite advisor, technology integrator, data interpreter, credentialed Customer Experience designer, and multilingual event speaker. I’ve helped hundreds of leaders pull all the pieces together to tackle tough, high-stakes issues, while winning accolades too numerous to count in the retail, tech and services sectors.
