Three Stages Of Change

At The Pivotal Paradigm Project, we believe change is both narrative and structural. Equity becomes real when leaders and organizations tell different stories, design different systems, and sustain practices that align with their values.

Our work is guided by three stages of change:

Stage One: Recognize

The first step is acknowledgment — identifying where inequities, blind spots, and misalignment exist in an organization’s culture, communications, and systems. This stage is about listening, reflection, and clarity.

 

At this stage we offer:

  • Narrative Audits & Storyline Mapping

  • Equity & Communications Climate Reviews

  • Stakeholder Listening Sessions & Feedback Loops

86% of executives say alignment of brand story and organizational strategy is a key driver of growth.

(McKinsey, 2024).

Recognition leads to alignment. Here, we train leaders, refine communications, and co-create strategies that make equity actionable and transparent.

Stage Two: Align

 

At this stage we offer:

  • Executive Coaching & Leadership Development

  • Communications Strategy & Equity Messaging Frameworks

  • Crisis Communications Planning with an Equity Lens

  • Thought Leadership Development (articles, speeches, media features)

Companies with clear, equity-informed messaging are 2.5x more likely to outperform competitors on engagement and retention.

(Deloitte, 2025)

Stage Three: Sustain

Implementing sustainable systems is crucial to ensure long-term success. This process is ongoing and will continue beyond the duration of our partnership.

 

At this stage we offer:

  • Social Media Strategy & Campaign Execution

  • Fundraising & Donor Engagement Strategy

  • Organizational Equity Audits & Systems Design

  • Ongoing Communications and Cultural Impact Support

Organizations that integrate equity strategy with communications see a 31% higher return on philanthropic and fundraising campaigns .

(Stanford Social Innovation Review, 2025))

Companies that operationalize equity + growth strategy are 3x more likely to enter new markets and scale sustainably

(Harvard Business Review, 2025).
