Align.
Stop debating. Start doing.
The Anchors Workshop is a facilitated session designed to quickly build consensus and align your team on the foundational goals, supporting initiatives, and upcoming milestones that will drive your mission forward.
Your organization is navigating an unprecedented time and the uncertainty is creating an inertia. Your team is either frantically working on the work in front of them, or paralyzed to move forward. The Anchors Workshop is designed for this moment.
Anchors. Initiatives. Moments.
Three steps to efficiently building strategic team alignment and moving your mission forward.
Set strategic course.
Anchors are the foundational elements that establish a vision for your road ahead.
Your organization is likely navigating a whirlwind of change which is leaving teams to operate in ambiguity. A clear Anchor is essential in determining key initiatives and aligning teams around them.
The right Anchor will be unique to your current situation and can be rooted in a variety of facets from the aspirational to the pragmatic. We’ll consider existing brand positioning, business goals and governance tenets.
Through the Anchors activity we will align on your strategic North Star.
Define key activities.
Initiatives are the myriad current and future activities that you’re charged with tackling.
Your team likely has a divergent set of activities that they feel are pressing based on department and role making prioritization essential.
While Initiatives will vary in scope and scale, several factors should be considered to ensure that a comprehensive list is developed. We’ll explore marketing, product, operations and future readiness.
Through the Initiatives exercise we will collect a comprehensive set of activities and prioritize how they support your established Anchor.
Chart the road ahead.
Moments are the time-based considerations that set pace for your roadmap.
While your organization is sure to have competing priorities, there are also likely to be mutually agreed upon must-hit dates.
What are the Moments that your organization must work in support of, or work around? We’ll consider budgeting cycles, events, holidays and staffing implications.
Through the Moments exercise we will align on must-hit dates and a quarterly view for tackling key Initiatives that support your established Anchor.
