We're extremely excited to announce the launch of Propeller’s first industry-specific blog series and eBook authored by our very own Dan Nissen. In this blog series and companion eBook, "Aligned Incentives: How Employers, Payers, and Providers Can Partner to Fix Healthcare", Dan unpacks the role each of these sectors must play to help create the long-needed and sustainable healthcare system fixes capable of renewing the U.S.’s reputation as one of the most innovative, effective, and affordable healthcare delivery systems in the world. Dan conducted thorough research and endured seemingly endless back-and-forth revisions with countless internal and external stakeholders to bring this work to life. At Propeller, we take pride in solving complex problems, even monumental business cases like our healthcare system. We're consultants, fixers, and change makers.
What do great business consultants have in common? For Rosanna Van Horn, it's a natural desire — feeling "compelled" — to continually improve things beyond the status quo: "I realized that none of my previous employers had ever actually asked me to 'fix their problems'—it’s just something I intuitively did...In every single role, I’d find myself looking for and creating better ways of doing what was already being done." Read how Rosy's past roles and accomplishments unknowingly shaped the journey to becoming a business consultant.
“You have to get through the mud and past the hurdles of what you perceive as a hodgepodge resume and poor reflection of you, to a place where you can celebrate your journey, celebrate your story, and understand the intrinsic value of what your skillset offers to an employer.” Propeller Consultant Riley Smith shares his steps for crafting an “a-ha!” storyline that knits a true picture of you are—and how that’s of value in the business world no matter the destination.
There’s a new ‘F’ word in the workplace. Change fatigue, defined as the inevitable outcome of driving large-scale change across an organization—can quickly become change saturation when workers undergo too much change too quickly—impacting the healthy productivity of individuals, teams, and organizations. In our latest post, Propellerites Ciara Claraty (she/her) & Riley Smith (he/him) walk through their solution to the “Fatigue Flood”, and how you can replace fatigue with vitality and resilience.

Late last year, at the height of digital burnout trends & “Zoom fatigue” we’ve all likely experienced, Propeller employees participated in an optional internal workshop called “Propeller United” to instill creative methods to battle burnout, beyond the typical remedies you’re probably used to hearing. The impact of this pilot series was so valuable to our employees that we had to offer it publicly. Please join our People & Change Practice Director, Rachel Crocker, Wednesday, March 31st from 12-1pm PST to unpack these tactical steps you can take to battle burnout and build resiliency in your life and work. You’ll come away with simple, yet powerful methods to re-ignite your energy, passion, and grit, and become a beacon of hope for others. Register here:
