In 2015, Shannan Scarselletta asked a simple question: why doesn’t change stick? The answer became ImproVision’s proprietary methodology — built on the neuroscience of habit formation and the discipline of improvisational theater to close the gap between knowing and doing.
The Playbook powers four integrated services — executive & technical leader coaching, team performance & training, change acceleration, and conferences and keynotes — giving the world’s most complex organizations a complete system for transformation that lasts.
The challenges facing today’s leaders are too complex, too nuanced, and too fast-moving for one-size-fits-all group training. That’s why ImproVision does something different: personalized, sustained coaching that meets leaders where they are — in real time, on real challenges, with real accountability.
We’re particularly good with the leaders everyone else struggles to develop. The majority of the 500+ executives and emerging leaders we’ve coached come from science, technology, engineering, and finance.
In the discovery phase, we go deep. Stakeholder interviews, individual assessments, and a clear diagnostic of where your team is today and what it will take to get where you need to go.
In the delivery phase, every team member receives personalized 1:1 coaching alongside group workshops designed around your team’s specific gaps and goals. Not generic skill-building — targeted development that speaks directly to what your people are actually dealing with.
In the integration phase, monthly workshops keep the momentum alive, embedding new behaviors until they become the way your team actually operates — not just how they acted the week after the offsite.
Because we’re not in the inspiration business. We’re in the behavior change business. And ImproVision’s methodology is grounded in the neuroscience of how the brain actually forms new habits — which is why the growth that happens in our sessions shows up six months later, when it counts most.
The result: teams that don’t just get along — they execute. They communicate across silos, commit to shared priorities, and deliver on strategy with the kind of cohesion that makes a VP’s job look easy
World-class coaches who combine neuroscience-backed methodology with the high-trust, high-energy environments that make real behavior change possible. Drawing on Shannan’s background as a Cornell basketball captain and professional performer at Second City and UCB, we know what it takes to build teams that perform under pressure — and we’ve delivered it for Fortune 500 organizations across utilities, technology, energy, retail, and finance, with a 99% recommendation rate.
You’ve sat through enough conferences where the agenda was packed, the speakers were fine, and nothing actually changed. Misaligned teams. Strategies that never land. Initiatives that stall before they start. That’s what bad meetings cost you. That’s not what we do.
ImproVision designs and facilitates meetings, conferences, and offsites that people talk about for years, because we design for the humans in the room, not the agenda on the page. No more staring at a blank agenda two weeks out. We design the experience, facilitate the day, and make sure your team leaves with real clarity on strategic direction and the enthusiasm to actually deliver on it.
We’ve designed and delivered transformative experiences for groups of 6 to 600, virtual, in-person, and everything in between. Every event is built around your specific vision, outcomes, and culture. Nothing off the shelf. Nothing generic. Nothing forgettable.
Ready to plan the meeting everyone will actually remember?
Most organizational change fails — not because the strategy was wrong, but because the people responsible for executing it were never equipped to lead it. So companies hire consultants, the consultants do the work, send the invoice, and leave. And the next time change comes around? You hire consultants again.
We’re not interested in that model.
The Change Accelerator Program is a fixed-fee, 3 to 6 month engagement that coaches your internal leaders to design and execute organizational change themselves — building the capability your organization keeps, long after our engagement ends. Instead of doing it for you, we partner with a dedicated internal sponsor and their team to develop your change strategy, stakeholder engagement plan, and communications rollout from the ground up. Using Playbook workshops and neuroscience-backed coaching throughout, we teach your people to think like change leaders — not just change participants.
Fixed-fee engagement. No hourly billing. No dependency. Just capability.
