Up to 75% of large organisations struggle to execute their strategies because of strategic dissonance
Reduce hidden strategic drift with a focused leadership team strategy workshop and management alignment workshops to de-risk your strategy.
THE REALITY
Not because of bad strategy. Not because of bad people. Because of Strategic Dissonance—the expensive gap between what executives say and what organisations do.
The message changes as it travels from boardroom to frontline. By layer three, your strategy is unrecognisable.
Teams are busy—but not on the things that matter. Energy is wasted on misaligned priorities.
Misalignment costs 5-10% of annual revenue. Most executives don't know until it's too late.
THE METHODOLOGY
PHASE 1
Diagnosis through a structured listening tour and workshops. I work with senior and middle management to capture the unvarnished truth about the strategy and the level of dissoance.
PHASE 2
Resolution through facilitated offsite. I present the findings and guide the executive team through the hard conversations they've been avoiding.
PHASE 3
The session ends with a Signed Mandate—a consensus-built, auditable strategic blueprint and clear 'OKR' ownership, endorsed by all stakeholders. No soft agreement, only hard decisions.
"Ben developed such an impactful workshop where the whole team were able to engage with a key stakeholders from the customer, listening to them and working with them to develop tangible and personalised solutions"
- Alexandra (Head of Google for Education, Northern Europe)
"His ability to grasp often complex business matters helped in his moderation of a clean and focused workshop and the result for us was a five-year strategy, wholly endorsed by all our stakeholders.
Needless to say, we would return to Ben again in the future."
- Margo (Founder, proSapient)
"At a crucial point in our growth, Ben supported the team's alignment on values and workstreams in order to develop our high-performance culture. We have the ingredients needed to formulate clear tangible next steps as individuals and within each team to drive our strategy, and we had the most amazing response from all our employees who also took away so much from the day"
- Gabrielle (COO, thymia)
