5 ways to build transformations that really matter in 2026
Every year gives transformation leaders a clearer view of their systems, their culture and their capacity for change.

Strategies stalled not because leaders lacked vision, but because organizations have outgrown the traditional ways we manage change. Most...
The Human Side of Project Success
Governance frameworks, project plans, and status dashboards often take center stage in conversations about program and project management.

We've seen brilliant initiatives stall not because the idea was wrong, but because...
Reskilling vs replacement: the case for investing in people
It’s nearly impossible to attend an industry conference, sit through a vendor pitch or read a white paper without hearing the same refrain: Artificial intelligence is going to reshape work, and employees will need to be reskilled or upskilled to stay relevant. The message is delivered with urgency, sometimes even with...
Governance as growth enabler
One of the biggest misconceptions we hear from clients is that governance equals bureaucracy. The word alone conjures images of slow committees, endless meetings, and red tape that stifles innovation. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. At IA, we believe governance is one of the most underrated drivers...

After 25+ years helping companies navigate HR, finance, IT, and shared services transformations, I've witnessed firsthand how rapidly the business landscape is evolving.
