WESTPORT, Conn. — April 12, 2021 — Canvas is a new, elite consultancy that is expert in driving successful organizational change. Today, Canvas announced the launch of its transformative learning, leadership and culture change practice. Its mission is to help organizations that are in discontinuous change to develop their people, so they create value for all stakeholders.

Canvas partners with organizations to design, develop and facilitate transformative learning, leadership, accelerated leadership, culture change, team, and people strategy solutions. Using a human centered design process to craft solutions, Canvas ensures that all its initiatives provide measurable outcomes against the client’s most critical metrics.

Jez Benton, Founder and CEO of Canvas stated, “As we’ve all experienced, 2020 was a year of unimaginable change for organizations. However, we must recognize that even pre-pandemic, the corporate world was experiencing discontinuous change. This came in the form of exponential growth, digital disruption, environmental, social or governance impact, and many other geopolitical and economic forces. In response, Canvas was formed to make learning transformative, with leaders and teams embracing change just as much as the broader organization. This is crucial because we understand that the relationship between organizational change and behavioral change is systemic and that success for any commercial entity is only possible by linking these two processes.”

In recent years, organizations have grasped that developing their people within the organizational context can also accelerate and increase the success of their change initiatives. Organizations with a narrow focus (on strategy, systems, structures or processes) that ignore the needs of people and their behaviors/mindsets, fail more frequently. The team and community at Canvas bring together decades of consulting success and experience from across multiple sectors to partner with clients to develop the mindsets and behaviors needed.

Benton concluded, “We aim to provide transformative learning that meets and exceeds the needs of our clients. Ultimately, we can help people and organizations change so they become more successful and sustainable and are positioned to create value for all their stakeholders.”
