UN  STUCKI  FYED

You're exhausted. You're moving fast, but nothing's changing. You've restructured. You've invested in technology. You've hired consultants. Your teams are drained. The problem isn't effort. It's design.

Dr Dani Chesson has led transformation in some of the world’s most complex organizations. She lived the struggle firsthand, watched the pace of change accelerate, and saw that organizations weren’t equipped for the problems coming their way. That sent her into a decade of research, drawing on organizational science, behavioral science, and design thinking, to understand why organizations get stuck and what it actually takes to move them forward.

Work With Dani 

Drawing on 12 years of research in organizational science, behavioral science, and design thinking, Dr Dani works with leaders through four phases that move your organization from stuck to unstoppable

Diagnose the Stuck Points

We go cross-functional and gather data from the people doing the work. You move from assumptions to insights, gaining clarity that distinguishes between real problems and symptoms.

Recognize the Storm

Your leadership team gains an understanding of what's keeping you stuck and the three forces at play. You align on the problem to solve and agree on how to move forward.

Execute the Moves

We orchestrate the moves for your context to address your stuck points. You create momentum on issues that have been stuck, build proof points, and show that a different way of working is possible.

Sustain the Momentum

The Moves become a way of working. We embed the new practices into decisions, priorities, capabilities, mindsets, and rhythms so Unstuckifyed survives beyond the engagement.

What Leaders are Saying

  • Unstuckifyed is a rare combination of behavioral science rigor and genuine human insight that showcases why the standard business playbook keeps failing. At a time when people and companies are more stuck than ever, Dr. Dani Chesson has done the hard work of turning the science into something leaders can actually use to get unstuck and thrive.

  • Unstuckifyed sheds light on the pain points every organisation is grappling with but struggling to name. It demystifies, in practical, repeatable steps, how to overcome challenges and drive measurable business results. The risk of AI amplifying these pain points makes Unstuckifyed an urgent and timely read for future-focused leaders.

    Craig Steel | CEO, Vantaset

  • In an age of information overload, this is a book worth reading. Dani's storytelling makes complex behavioural science and organisational principles feel simple, practical, and immediately relevant. Unstuckifyed offers compelling Moves to help leaders navigate the Digital Age and set up for the AI Age.

    Sebastien Berlioz | VP APAC, Orgvue

  • Unstuckifyed is the practical, courageous, and deeply human guide everyone needs as we move into the Age of AI. Dani brings rare insight and shares them in a pragmatic way to help organizations move beyond the inertia. I was honored to contribute the foreword, and I am even more honored to stand behind a work that will help so many individuals, teams, and organizations get unstuck and move forward with greater clarity, courage, and purpose.

  • Too often, we approach organizational challenges like someone trapped in quicksand; the deeper we sink, the harder we hold on to the same familiar methods. That’s the cycle Dr. Dani Chesson exposes and dismantles in this powerful book. Drawing on research and real-world experience, Dr. Chesson explains the personal and professional costs of staying stuck. Most importantly, she shows a roadmap for meaningful change.

    Professor, Fulbright Scholar 

  • Unstuckifyed is an absolutely brilliant read that goes far beyond traditional leadership strategy. Dr. Chesson masterfully explores how our emotional brains influence logical thinking, shaping the way we communicate, make decisions, and lead within organizations. What makes this book stand out is its ability to connect neuroscience and leadership in a way that feels practical, relatable, and immediately actionable. A must-read for strategic leaders ready to move their organizations forward.
    Amy Hillis, CPACO | Co-Founder, Social Pet Hotel 

  • Having led transformation, innovation and product development at organisations around the world, I know how rarely change actually sticks. My research has deepened my conviction that today’s productivity crisis isn't a technology problem, it's a problem-solving one. Dr Dani has spent a decade proving exactly that. Unstuckifyed is the clearest, most honest guide I've read that explains why organisations stay stuck and what it genuinely takes to change that.
