ALM Intelligence's Liz DeVito sat down recently with Alex Kormushoff to discuss how Leaderscape is enabling the future of data-led change management.
ALM Intelligence: Can you tell us a bit about how Leaderscape came into being?
Kormushoff: Leaderscape was born out of our passion for people, businesses, data and performance. We spent decades as consultants and in-house operators helping Fortune 1000 companies turn over the rocks to solve big, meaty problems. We were tasked with knowing what really drives performance and found that most performance methodologies only measured the lagging indicators, such as financial, ERP and other balance sheet-related metrics. One of the consistent challenges we continued to see in our consulting engagements, was that organizations were missing the ability to measure the soft-stuff—aka the performance linchpin of any organization—people, leadership, culture and communication. We turned this problem into an opportunity to create a business transformation platform that puts AI-powered data into the hands of our consulting partners and their clients. To us, the whitespace in change management is all about having the right data to measure the soft-stuff.
ALM Intelligence: How does Leaderscape go to market?
Kormushoff: Leaderscape is part of the change management and business transformation ecosystem. We rely on our partners, who are world-class change management consultants, to deliver the power of Leaderscape to their clients. Our partners leverage Leaderscape to expand their offering and create new revenue sources, and we work closely with each to meet their specific goals. We have a nimble onboarding process for new partners that gets them up and running on the Leaderscape platform quickly. At the end of the day, we help our partners drive value for clients with an intelligent solution that provides business leaders with a more holistic perspective and broader contextual framework for activating change.
ALM Intelligence: Tell us about Leaderscape's platform.
Kormushoff: The Leaderscape Value Creation Platform uses AI and machine-learning to measure the soft stuff of an organization – people, leadership, culture and communications. The platform is cloud-based and puts powerful dashboards in our consulting partners' hands. In 4 to 6 weeks, the platform can collect, score, analyze and surface actionable data and recommendations, using proprietary algorithms. And, there's always a continuous feedback loop of data, where the Leaderscape platform is constantly gathering outputs and delivering outcomes.
ALM Intelligence: What services does Leaderscape offer?
Kormushoff: We believe in the power of ecosystems and see ourselves as an enabling partner. We do what we do best by delivering technology that measures the soft stuff with certainty and our partners do what they do best in providing world-class change management and business transformation consulting expertise. Our partners take the lead with the client and we provide sales and technology support, training, and, of course, new data and insights. Our platform was built to be flexible and scalable. It can work with large consulting firms leading highly complex, multi-year transformation engagements, as well as with boutique firms focused on delivering more pointed assessments, such as cultural audits, strategy and execution gap analyses, organizational alignment assessments and strategy, and market alignment roadmaps. We've put together some case studies, which give more detail about how Leaderscape works, along with the specific results.

ALM Intelligence: What's next for Leaderscape?
Kormushoff: We're flipping the script on change management and turning around the success rate. We see a massive opportunity to collaborate with our partners to deliver new data and outcomes that fuel an organization's digital transformation and intelligent automation journeys.
