ProblemScapes
The Workshop for Strategic Alignment
In today's fast-paced and complex business environment, leaders are faced with a multitude of challenges and decisions that can make or break their organization's success.
Amidst the pressure to innovate and stay ahead of the competition, executives often find themselves grappling with a web of interconnected problems, each demanding immediate attention and resources. The stakes are high—multi-million dollar investments hinge on the ability to accurately identify and address the most pressing issues.
But how can leaders ensure they are solving the right problems and not just treating the symptoms?
THE #1 CAUSE OF INEFFICIENCY IN YOUR ORG:
"Imagine that you're the CEO of a company, and you discover that 71% of your managers are not fully aligned with your vision. Do you think there's any chance that you're going to hit your targets this year? Or next? Of course not.
And disturbingly, rampant misalignment is precisely what a new study discovered."

ProblemScape Workshops Have Three Simple Steps:
1Assess.
The first phase of the ProblemScapes workshop is the "Assess" phase, where we take a deep dive into understanding the current landscape of challenges your organization is facing. Our goal is to identify and map out the interconnected web of problems that are impacting your business. Through a series of guided discussions and interactive exercises, we work collaboratively with your team to explore the nature of each problem, its root causes, and its ripple effects on other areas of the organization. By gaining a comprehensive view of the problem landscape, we set the stage for informed decision-making and strategic prioritization. The "Assess" phase is a critical step in building a solid foundation for alignment and action, as it equips your team with the insights needed to navigate the complexities of your organization's unique challenges.
2Align.
The second phase of the ProblemScapes workshop is the "Align" phase, where we focus on fostering alignment and consensus among stakeholders. During this phase, we facilitate collaborative discussions that encourage participants to share their perspectives, explore the "why" behind each problem, and articulate the goals and objectives they hope to achieve. We also engage in exercises designed to prioritize the most valuable problems to solve, taking into account their potential impact, urgency, and feasibility. By creating a shared understanding of the challenges and opportunities at hand, we empower your team to align on a common vision and make informed decisions that reflect the collective wisdom of the group. The "Align" phase is a transformative experience that promotes collaboration, builds trust, and paves the way for effective problem-solving.
3Accelerate.
The final phase of the ProblemScapes workshop is the "Accelerate" phase, where we turn insights into action and chart a clear path forward. Building on the alignment achieved in the previous phase, we work with your team to develop a strategic roadmap that outlines the key steps and milestones needed to address the prioritized problems. We also explore potential solutions, evaluate their implications, and identify the resources and support required for successful implementation. Throughout this phase, we emphasize the importance of agility and adaptability, encouraging your organization to embrace a proactive mindset and respond swiftly to emerging challenges and opportunities. The "Accelerate" phase is where your team gains the momentum needed to drive meaningful change and achieve your most important goals. With a clear and actionable roadmap in hand, you are equipped to unlock new possibilities for growth and success, propelling your organization towards a future of clarity and confidence.
If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.
