About R Scott Spann Over the past 25 years, I've been solving seemingly “impossible” problems for Business, Society, & the Earth. My work is inspired by my experience with business leaders – trying to do the right thing in complex, competitive situations; my work with Social leaders in NGO's and government – seeking to satisfy diverse stakeholders in ways that benefit the whole; my career as a Rolfer and trauma psychotherapist – witnessing people recover from the injuries that life and humanity too often deal us; my time in nature as a cowboy, hunter, and sailor; and my training as an internationally competitive athlete. Born and raised in South Texas working on ranches and fishing boats, my experiences range from consulting with Arthur Andersen & Co. to launching the Texas office of The Nature Conservancy; Managing Vice President of RPC, a small national consulting firm, to leading the Rolf Institute; Vice President for ARC, International, a global leadership development & cultural change group, to Stone Yamashita Partners, a global branding & strategy firm; from CEO for VC firms to working with former guerrilla and indigenous leaders in Guatemala. And I continue to learn by working with Business, Social, & Earth-centered leaders today. I’ve applied my unique strategic methodologies successfully in businesses like Apple, HPE, and Humana; with social issues like Climate Change, Affordable Housing, and Social Justice with foundations and NGOs; and on complex projects for the U.S. Navy and the White House.

Get on the path to solving "impossible", wickedly complex problems for Business, Society, & the Earth – today – with Emergent Impact™
70-90% of strategic change efforts fail (HBR & Forbes, 2022) as they’re not aligned with Reality. In these courses, you will learn to align Leaders, Teams, Organizations, & whole Ecosystems (Business, Social, or Earth focused) with Reality – the Reality of being more Fully Human acting in Complex Systems.
