Purpose & Impact
We believe change can be ambitious without losing humanity, responsible without losing momentum, and sustainable because it is built with people, not simply imposed on them.
A way of working shaped in the field.
For more than fifteen years, Serena Barberis led functions and teams in complex humanitarian environments across Africa, Asia and Europe. That experience showed every day that organizations are not machines: they are living systems made of people, relationships, constraints, identities and responsibilities.
The Pivot Move was created to bring this perspective to organizations and leadership pathways: rigour in reading the system, respect for context and attention to what makes change sustainable over time.
Accompany sustainable change.
We help organizations and leaders turn complexity and transition into clarity, coherent decisions and lasting capabilities.
Organizations that change without losing what matters.
A future in which strategy, culture, responsibility and wellbeing can reinforce one another.
Create meaningful movement.
Because every effective pivot begins with identity, reads the context and chooses a direction responsibly.
