Build a team that operates as a unified force, with genuine ownership for a shared achievement, rather than a collection of individuals prioritizing their areas and agendas.
Turn that ownership and alignment into a breakthrough strategy and disciplined execution required to achieve extraordinary improvements in your organization’s most important results.
Most organisations are performing well below their potential – and most leaders know it.
Functions protect their own priorities rather than owning the success of the whole organisation.
Meetings end with apparent agreement while concerns, frustrations, disagreement and lack of alignment remain unspoken.
People agree to the strategy without genuinely owning what it will take to deliver it.
Bold possibilities and intentions leave the room with energy – then quietly disappear beneath the pressures of everyday business.
Most organizations are not constrained by what is happening around them.
They are limited by how their leadership team is operating internally.
Each step is a transformation in its own right. Each enables the next. The sequence is the methodology.
Confront the gap between where you are and what is possible. Stop explaining it away. Transformation begins when the leadership team takes genuine ownership.
Complete the past, clear limiting conversations and createa new operating context built on trust, courageous communications and accountability for a bold, shared future.
Plant a bold stake in the future and work backwards. Let the result you are committed to shape the route rather than allowing history to define what seems possible.
Move beyond communicating change. Enrol managers as genuine co-owners of the strategy, the execution plan and the breakthrough.
Connect every level of the organisation to the future and create an unbroken line between people’s daily work and the breakthrough you are committed to achieving.
Build the discipline, cadence and conviction required to keep moving when transformation becomes difficult – because alignment is the starting line, not the finish line.
Breakthrough rarely follows a straight line. Every transformation moves through three distinct phases.
Create the future and align the team around a clear breakthrough promise.
Stay committed when old habits return and progress becomes harder to see.
The new behaviours take hold – and the bold results begin to follow.
The methodology of Aligned in 30 Days has been created and shaped through nearly four decades of working with leadership teams in organisations around the world.
A telecommunications organization had been stuck at the same revenue level for years. Its leadership team used the breakthrough process to align around a bold three-year promise and execute against it together.
Examples reflect results achieved by individual client organisations.
It is for leaders who know their organization is capable of operating at a much higher level – and who are prepared to do the work required to get there, including:
