The alignment map
Can your leaders state the strategy, the top three priorities, and the not-dos — cold, in their own words? Where playback diverges, and where public agreement hides private disbelief. Dissent preserved, never averaged away.
For strategy offsites
Find out what your organisation actually thinks the strategy is.
Before the offsite, a neutral AI confidentially interviews your top two leadership layers — strategy playback, conviction, where money contradicts the plan, and the conversations being avoided — and hands you an alignment map plus the decision agenda the room must work through.
AThe pre-offsite problem
Everyone nods in the room. Alignment is tested in private.
Offsites run on the top team’s own summary of itself. The facilitator’s pre-interviews cover eight people and weeks of billing; the next fifty leaders — the layer that actually delivers the strategy — were never asked. So the room debates a strategy nobody has tested against what the organisation really thinks it is.
- People agree in the meeting and bet against the plan in private — conviction never gets tested.
- The top team hears its own summary played back, not what layer two actually received.
- Pre-offsite 1:1s cover a handful of people and take weeks; the alignment problem lives two layers deep.
BWhat you get, before the room
A facilitator’s pre-read, two layers deep, in days.
The reality test
Where money, headcount, and senior attention contradict the stated priorities. What’s more broken — or quietly better — than the top team believes, and the market shifts the current strategy underweights.
The decision agenda
The four to six choices the offsite must actually produce, each framed neutrally with the evidence on both sides — including the conversation everyone has been avoiding.
CWhat you’ll learn
The questions the offsite should answer — asked before it.
- 01
Can my top two layers state the strategy — and what we’ve decided not to do — in their own words?
- 02
Which parts of the strategy have conviction, and which would leaders quietly bet against?
- 03
Where does actual spend and senior time contradict the stated priorities?
- 04
Which conversation do we keep avoiding, and what is it costing us?
- 05
What must this offsite decide that we’d regret postponing a year?
Candid because it’s confidential.
Your leaders answer anonymously. Responses are aggregated into segments, and any group too small to protect a person is suppressed or merged before you see it — with a small top team, that means whole-group themes by design. You see patterns and preserved dissent, never individuals — which is exactly why people say what they won’t say in the room.
Walk into the offsite knowing where you actually stand.
Scope a strategy-alignment diagnostic in minutes. Confidential, self-serve, and ready before the pre-reads go out.
