“An organization’s ability to learn, and translate that learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate competitive advantage” - Jack Welch
Change requires Understanding – Understanding requires Learning.
Too often in business, critical change communication is done in a top down, “we’ll present our conclusions to you” format that misses the mark – that doesn’t respect how people truly learn. Yet significant change is expected.
Competitive advantage comes from the ability to execute better than the competition – strategies often fail because they aren’t executed well. The source of this competitive advantage is your company’s single biggest investment – People.
Leaders of organizations spend a good deal of time and energy developing strategic direction – they have a clear understanding of where they are and where they need to be.
It is necessary to align and mobilize people to come to the same understanding.
The challenge is to ensure that people are not only aware of, but truly understand the new direction, the tools in place to support them, and what they can do to contribute to success. Companies that ignore this often fail to execute their strategy.
I can help you improve operational effectiveness by aligning your people with your strategic direction.
People pull in the same direction to leverage opportunities and maximize performance when they are aligned with the strategic direction.
My alignment solutions allow people to see the big picture thus creating a shared vision of success. People are given the opportunity to draw their own conclusions and identify for themselves how they can support the organization going forward.
My solutions allow easily scalable and help you to reach a geographically disbursed workforce quickly and effectively with a consistent message.
Think of jazz musicians …
… If one member veers off in improvisation, the others are able to follow
… If a singer would rather sing in the key of A than the original G, they can all switch in an instant
… they are able to improvise during a performance. They are in sync with their fellow band members. They all share a common ground; they share the same set of rules.
The band shares an understanding of where to go and what the songs should sound like – they are aligned with each other, and with the task of performing sweet music.
As a band member, would you rather play with musicians who are confident and able to do almost anything? Or one who needs to have new sheets of music, and must take time to practice when something changes?

So how does this apply to business communication?
Competitive advantage comes from the ability to execute better than the competition — strategies most often fail because they aren’t executed well.
The source of this advantage is your company’s single biggest investment — People. It’s the people in your organization who create strategies based on their conclusions and translate those strategies into operational effectiveness.
To prepare for change, all employees must start with a common ground and have a shared understanding of where they are going. They must be aligned with the strategy, the vision and with each other.
Alignment creates the ability to improvise … the ability to face any challenge.
