Bring your team together through long-lasting tools that ensure alignment
Strategic Alignment Workshops
Using the power of Design Thinking to connect everyone in your team
Do you feel the disconnect?
As organizations grow and scale, it’s easy to lose focus on what matters. Each new member comes with a different understanding of how to use their talents to contribute to the business, and each team pursues what they consider to be their primary goal.
The result? Unfocused use of talent, uncertain impact of their daily actions results, lack of clarity on what creates value. Not to mention, people feel unseen and lose motivation.
The Strategic Alignment Workshops helps your team interiorize their strategic priorities through learning and collaboration
This custom made engagements identify the source of the disconnect and offer tailored centralized work methodology, bringing positive and effective change in your organization. On top of this, we use the collaborative space to identify areas of opportunity to nurture your team, customer and business.
The difference? A better understanding how all parts are interconnected to create value, and a north star goal to pursue, with tools that empower all contributors.

Building a value-driven workshop for your team
1
Diagnostic
Each company has a distinct strategy and culture. To focus the workshop on the right areas of impact, I work with the project sponsors to understand priorities, levels of value, challenges, and blockers. Through this diagnostic, I develop an informed methodology that supports both the team and the organization’s business goals.
2
Tailored Methodology
Based on a shared business objective, I design the workshop around tools that drive organizational value. Taking Design Thinking and Strategic Management principles, I prioritize the most impactful aspects to each team. The goal is to provide a unified work framework and recognize how initiatives and contributions support the organization’s strategic priorities.

Collaborative Workshop
Time to roll up our sleeves! Each workshop is divided into two key moments: Firstly, we cover key concepts discussing principles, tools and value enhancers for the organization. Secondly, hands-on collaboration where the team offers their knowledge and expertise to identify opportunities for improvement and address friction points, to strengthen the overall strategy.
4
Recommendations & Learnings
As a result of collaborative work, I synthesize the workshop's outcomes, impact areas and recommendations for the framework's long-term applicability. This ensures the outcomes extend beyond our workshop day, empowering the participants and other teams within the organization to make more strategic decisions together.
