The MOVE Framework: A practitioner-first model for moving what’s stuck

Ways of Working

You've done this work long enough to know what good looks like. And right now, this isn't it.

Something's stalled. Stakeholders aren't engaging. The project keeps sliding. You've tried the usual approaches and none of them are landing — and the quieter questions are starting to get louder: What am I missing?

That question deserves a real answer you can use — not a pep talk, not the usual frameworks. A diagnostic.

In this 50-minute interactive session, Sarah Updike introduces the MOVE Framework and its core model: the Three-Lens Model — applied across three dimensions simultaneously: the Human, the System, and the Wiring (Neuroscience of Change). From there, participants work through the Map It Diagnostic — a tool built for exactly this moment that shows you terrain your current tools weren't designed to see. Not just what's stuck, but why. And more importantly, what you can actually do about it.

You'll leave with:

A clearer picture of what you’re bringing to this situation that you’ve stopped counting

Words for what’s going on in the system that nobody’s saying out loud

A way to hear what your brain and body are telling you–and what they might actually be responding to

This session is for the people doing the work — the project managers and change managers who are good at their craft and finding themselves in a world that keeps making it harder. If you're pushing a boulder up a hill right now, this one's for you.

Come as you are. Bring whatever is currently stuck.
