The Impact Engine™
A Leadership and Change Research Framework by Patrick Musante

​​The Impact Engine™ is a leadership and management framework developed through two decades of federal senior leadership, experience within T-Mobile’s Business-to-Government consulting, and advanced study in organizational management and leadership.

It integrates seven domains of effective organizations — Management, Leadership, Change, Ethics & Values, Culture & People, Innovation & Technology, and Strategy & Momentum — into a unified system that turns trust into impact and momentum into resilience.

StrategiCore Solutions™ serves as the research platform where these insights are developed, tested, and shared.​​​​​​​​​
