THE ACCELERATING POWER OF ORGANIZATIONAL ALIGNMENT

HOW WE DEFINE ALIGNMENT

Alignment: an optimal state where everyone—and everything—is externally aligned with market realities, vertically aligned with corporate priorities, and horizontally aligned to leverage the full resources of the company to win.

the DRIVE ONE DIRECTION^® methodology

One Vision. One Strategy. One Goal. 

One Direction.

our three-step process

To accelerate results, SHIFTPOINTS developed a three-step process:

1. 1. THE NAVIGATION INDEX™ – A unique assessment of Executive Team Alignment (ETA), a leading indicator of organizational performance.
   2. THE PIT STOP PROGRAM^® – A 90-day engagement culminating in a one-day Executive Team Alignment (ETA) offsite meeting.
      
   3. THE TOP GEAR PROGRAM^® – Long-term strategy consulting and coaching to help leaders unleash the accelerating power of alignment.

This process has delivered transformational results for our clients.

STEP #1: THE NAVIGATION INDEX™

Executive Team Alignment (ETA) is a leading indicator of business performance.

But most organizations never measure it.

The Navigation Index is a unique assessment of Executive Team Alignment (ETA). It provides a detailed and quantitative baseline.

STEP #2: THE PIT STOP PROGRAM^®

You have the pedal to the metal. Competing. Winning.

But every executive team needs a pit stop occasionally to refuel, recharge, and realign. 

The Pit Stop Program is a 90-day engagement culminating in a one-day Executive Team Alignment (ETA) workshop.

SHIFTPOINTS runs Pit Stop Programs for all kinds of organizations.

STEP #3: THE TOP GEAR PROGRAM^®

The Pit Stop Program is amazing.

But you can't unleash the accelerating power of alignment in one day.

Therefore, we developed Top Gear Program, a long-term transformational engagement.

It is a unique blend of strategy consulting, organizational transformation, and executive coaching.

We call it Strategy Coaching^TM.

LEADERSHIP IS A TEAM SPORT™

Unlike traditional coaching programs that focus on the individual, we focus on the team.

Because leadership is a team sport.™

Unfortunately, most executive teams function more like a team of rivals than a real team.

Many have long-standing dysfunction that is impacting performance.

SHIFTPOINTS helps CEOs address these issues and more.
