Strategy → Impact
A collection of strategic mirrors designed to help leadership teams see their context clearly; what’s working, what’s obscured, and what’s next.
The Simpang Index Tools are designed to work together.
Each acts as a strategic mirror, not to provide answers, but to surface the questions that matter most. Used individually or together, they help leadership teams move from reactive → evolving → strategic practice.
If you’re deciding where to begin, external perspective is often the fastest way to make sense of what you’re seeing.
Why This Video Matters
School improvement is rarely a straight line, but most leaders are still handed advice as if it is. This isn’t because leaders don’t know their craft, it’s because improvement is more complex than the models we’re given.
This video reframes that thinking.
In this session, Michael Everett unpacks the Sigmoid Curve and uses real-world analogies, from the motor industry to elite cycling, to show how meaningful, sustainable improvement works in schools.
It explains why well-intentioned initiatives often stall, why momentum can dip before it builds, and why timing matters as much as direction.
But this isn’t theory for interest’s sake.
You’ll see how the Simpang Index Tools (Clarity, Wellbeing, Inclusion, Curriculum, Leadership & Culture, Assessment, Communication) help leadership teams uncover what they don’t yet know, diagnose where practice is reactive or evolving, and map out the next strategic step.
They are not compliance tools or scorecards, they are strategic mirrors that slow thinking before speeding action.
This is a practical guide for leaders who want more than surface-level solutions:
-
A clearer understanding of how change really works in schools.
-
A framework to ask the difficult questions that truly move practice forward.
-
A way to build leadership alignment, strengthen culture, and make data meaningful.
-
A structure for improvement that doesn’t begin with a blank page.
-
Tools they can immediately use with their own teams.
You’ll also see why sustainable improvement is a team effort.
Using the Mission: Support analogy, the session explores how leaders support one another to reach new highs, and how Simpang’s Leadership Rooms are designed to build exactly that kind of shared momentum.
Whether you are leading a school, shaping systems, or preparing to guide improvement at scale, this video offers:
-
A new mental model for change
-
A set of questions that surface blind spots
-
A pathway to move from reactive → evolving → strategic & sustainable
-
A glimpse of how Simpang partners with schools in a bespoke, embedded way
This isn’t a presentation of answers. It’s a framework for finding the right answers for your school.
If parts of this feel familiar, that recognition is the starting point.
