ALIGN BEFORE YOU BUILD

The Problem: Strategy fails when leadership says “yes” in the room but executes differently in motion. Competing visions, unclear priorities, and misaligned incentives burn months in circular debates and wasted motion.

What We Do: This executive strategy workshop gets your leadership team aligned to one shared picture of where you’re going, and what has to change to get there. This isn’t a brainstorm or vision retreat. It’s a structured working session that surfaces competing assumptions, forces clarity on tradeoffs, and builds commitment before strategy work begins.

You Walk Away With:

√ One clear direction leadership actually agrees on (not just signs off on)

√ Alignment on what changes and what stays

√ Shared language and priorities everyone can act on

The Cost Of Skipping This: Misaligned leadership is among the most common predictors of strategy failure. Research shows 67-90% of strategies fail due to poor execution, with misalignment cited as a leading cause (HBR, Kaplan & Norton). Building strategy on top of misaligned leadership is like building on sand—it won't hold.

Investment: Starting at 35K | Timeline: ~ 2-4 weeks (includes pre-work and workshop)

Outcomes vary by organization. Every engagement is tailored to your specific context and needs.

ASSESS YOUR CURRENT REALITY

The Problem: Most leaders hit cultural misalignment 6 months into strategy. By then, execution risks are real, talent is walking, and you're managing damage instead of building momentum.

What We Do: We stress-test the five load-bearing beams of your organization. You get a clear map of where execution will hold and where pressure will cause failure, before you commit resources.

You Walk Away With:

√ Risk assessment showing where delivery will hold and where it will break (red/yellow/green map with timing)

√ The behaviors and friction points that will derail delivery

√ A 90-day stabilization plan to close gaps before value leaks

The Cost of Skipping This: Research shows 70-90% of M&A deals fail or underperform due to cultural misalignment (EY). In )a $100M deal, the potential value at risk can be substantial—value that early cultural due diligence is designed to protect.

Investment: Starting at: $45K | Timeline: ~ 3 weeks

Outcomes vary by organization. Every engagement is tailored to your specific context and needs.

DESIGN YOUR WORKFORCE FOR NEXT

The Problem: Your growth plan requires capabilities, roles, and ways of working you don't have yet — but you're still operating with the org structure and talent approach built for where you were. The gap compounds every quarter: wrong skills, unclear ownership, roles that don't scale. Growth stalls not because of market conditions, but because your people system can't carry what's next.

What We Do: We design the workforce required to deliver where the business is going—not where it's been. Over 8 weeks, we clarify the roles, capabilities, and ways of working needed to carry your strategy under real-world pressure.

You Walk Away With:

√ Clear definitions of "good" in critical roles

√ The capabilities that matter most to execution (and where gaps exist)

√ A workforce design aligned to growth, scale, or transformation

√ Talent roadmap with sequencing and investment priorities

The Cost of Skipping This: The potential cost of reactive hiring and unclear roles: significant growth delays and substantially higher talent costs. Companies that scale without redesigning their workforce often hit a ceiling around 2-3x growth—delivery gets slower, quality drops, high performers burn out.

Investment: Starting at $60K | Timeline: ~ 8 weeks

Outcomes vary by organization. Every engagement is tailored to your specific context and needs.

ACTIVATE THE STRATEGY

The Problem: The plan makes sense on paper. But delivery keeps stalling because people don't know what changed, leaders aren't rowing together, and the talent system is still optimized for yesterday.

What We Do: This is where strategy becomes how work gets done. We realign leaders, incentives, and talent systems so teams actually move in the same direction—not just in parallel.

You Walk Away With:

√ A clear talent story (EVP) that attracts and retains the people you need

√ Leadership aligned on one operating playbook

√ Practical integration so teams move together, not in silos

√ Measurement approach to track what's actually working

The Cost of Skipping This: Research by Kaplan and Norton suggests up to 90% of strategies fail at implementation. Not because the strategy was wrong, but because activation was treated as an afterthought. The potential cost: 12-18 months of execution drag, higher talent turnover, and strategy that may not deliver the promised ROI.

Investment: Starting at $45K | Timeline: Custom (typically 8-16 weeks)

Outcomes vary by organization. Every engagement is tailored to your specific context and needs.

ON-DEMAND STRATEGY SUPPORT

The Problem: Not every decision needs a 12-week engagement. But some moments are too complex, too political, or too time-sensitive to figure out alone — and waiting for "the right time" to bring in help means you're already behind. This is when you need a sharp second brain, not another deck.

What We Do: Direct access to experienced operators who understand work, power, and execution. We step in when decisions are time-sensitive, politically complex, or structurally unclear. Clear thinking and partnership when it matters for you.

You Walk Away With:

√ Fast diagnosis of what's actually breaking

√ Clear thinking in moments that matter

√ Practical guidance you can act on immediately

The Cost of Skipping This: When you rely only on internal expertise, you inherit everyone's blind spots. The same assumptions. The same political constraints. The same "this is just how we do things here." An outside perspective spots what you're too close to see, and often what no one inside wants to say out loud. The cost isn't always measurable in dollars. It's the year you spend solving the wrong problem because everyone inside the room agreed it was the right one.

Investment: $500/hour | Timeline: Flexible with retainer options
