Consulting Services

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” – Lao Tzu

Welcome. I’m Shannon Vasko, founder of MI Compass Services. I have a passion for navigating change using proven project management (PM) & organizational change management (OCM) strategies along with straight-talk, common sense and humor.

With 20+ years in PM, OCM and other leadership roles, I know what it takes to successfully move people through change.

Don’t struggle with managing change alone. Let MI Compass Services be your guide.

Consulting Overview

To maintain a competitive edge in today’s world, businesses must focus on their customers and their employees. ​Both expect transparency and engagement during times of change—but your bandwidth is tapped.

Choosing an independent consultant as your project partner pairs the commitment of an employee with the convenience of a contractor. When you succeed, we succeed.

As a PMI and Prosci certified professional with over 20 years of experience in project/program management, strategic planning, coaching, communication, and training, I partner with technology leads and business units to ensure both leaders and end users have the information they need to minimize disruption.

Strategic Planning

Change is hard. And poorly managed change costs you in resistance, productivity, turnover and project failure. ​​​

​Leveraging industry best practices, MI Compass Services customizes a winning strategy to achieve your deliverables.

Coaching

Leadership support is crucial. Leaders need to visibly support the change and provide guidance.

MI Compass Services prepares managers with the tools they need to support their end users.

Communication

Change happens at the individual level. So does the resistance that stems from lack of communication.

Using proven strategies, MI Compass Services develops the right messages for your stakeholders.​
