Transformational
Change Institute

We are a Global Centre for Transformational Leadership and Transformational Change.

We Exist to Shift How the World
Understands and Leads Transformational Change.

We work to advance global thinking and practice in transformational leadership and change.

We deliver transformational learning experiences for leaders, teams and organisations navigating complex change. From introductory sessions to advanced certifications, intensives and retreats, our offerings shift how change is understood, led and sustained.

We offer practical tools, learning experiences and certification pathways that equip leaders, teams and organisations to lead transformational change within their systems, their communities and themselves.

Our flagship offering, the SIMPLE. Transformation Framework, brings together the SIMPLE. Leadership Knowledge Set and the SIMPLE. Transformation Method, two powerful systems for leading real, lasting change.

About The Institute.

The Transformational Change Institute was established to carry forward five years of research and development led by Growth Development, a New Zealand-based research and development organisation founded to explore why so many change efforts fail to take root. This work uncovered that real transformation requires more than new strategies or tools, it demands a method that addresses both the human dynamics of leadership and the systemic conditions of change. At its heart is a focus on the deeper conditions that determine whether change efforts succeed.

SIMPLE. Certifications.

Our SIMPLE. Certifications offer a complete, grounded and practical learning journey for those leading transformational leadership and organisational change. Whether you are just starting out or already leading at scale, these four offerings provide a clear step-by-step pathway for building the conditions where people and progress thrive.

Transformational Leadership 101 (TL101) is the ideal entry point, introducing the ‘why’ behind transformational change failure and the Unity Formula at the heart of the SIMPLE. Transformation Framework. SIMPLE. Certification 1, the SIMPLE. Leadership Knowledge Set (SIMPLE. CERT1), builds on this by teaching leaders how to embed the essential Unity Conditions into leadership, teams and organisations. SIMPLE. 101, our Introduction to the SIMPLE. Transformation Method, focuses on transformational management and introduces the six universal laws behind successful transformational change. SIMPLE. Certification 2, the SIMPLE. Transformation Method (SIMPLE. CERT2), brings it all together by helping leaders apply the method in real time to complex change priorities. Together, these certifications support leaders to move their people beyond buy-in and create genuine ownership of that change, because that is what lasting transformation truly requires.
