Welcome to the Quest Effect web site and blog! I’m delighted that you visited. I want this site to address the interests of change leaders and possibility thinkers in business, organizations and institutions. If I left you out, please stick around - if you’re interested in the topic, then you are most welcome.

I created this site because I’m inspired by the idea of the Quest in business. I’m convinced that the Quest is the most powerful (and least understood) driver of breakthrough and transformation. I define the Quest is a journey of exploration and discovery in pursuit of a breakthrough that, when mastered, will have the power to renew and transform an organization. You may know the Quest by other names such as Journey, Adventure or Exploration.

My mission is to encourage leaders to pursue the quest while resisting the siren song of safety, stability and equilibrium. I hope that, through the materials on this site, that I will encourage you to tap the power of the quest in your own organization.

I’m a management consultant, leadership coach, and presenter. I’ve applied the principles of the Quest Effect for over a decade as I’ve guided dozens organizations on the Quest. I work with leaders and innovation teams in all types of organizations, from insurance companies to international airports, from hospitals to cruise lines. I’m also the author of the upcoming book, The Quest Effect, due out in early 2009.

Please check back for future posts. I’ll be blogging about the power of the Quest in business. I plan to share guidance for change leaders, stories about breakthrough Quests, rants on organizations’ failure to pursue the Quest, resources for launching your own Quest, interviews with provocative thinkers, wicked questions, and so on. I would be honored by your posted comments.

My commitment to you is that, if you continue to visit questeffect.com, you will never think about deep change, innovation and transformation in the same way again.

I plan to post at least weekly, so please check back often - or, better yet, subscribe with an RSS feed.

Let the Quest Begin!

Respectfully, Randall Benson
