During the life of every organization, including non-profit foundations, there are times when making significant changes becomes essential in order to continue growing or to overcome challenges that impede its progress.

These times, which require a "Transformative Leap", become the obstacle the organization must overcome to define its future: either it moves to a higher stage, it stagnates or it may even disappear.
