Rapid Alignment’s Three-Dimension Consulting/Coaching/Facilitation Methodology Delivers Powerful Advantages

The proven Rapid Alignment Three-Dimension Methodology simultaneously implements three complementary RA processes that drive organizational change and success.

  • Strategic Organizational Consulting
  • Individual Strategic Leadership Styles Coaching
  • Executive Team Facilitation

Our three-dimensional consulting/coaching/facilitation process integrates with the cadence of your business and quickly provides you an objective perspective and actionable framework for redefining and resolving current organization and business issues.

Strategic Organizational Consulting

An initial in-depth Rapid Alignment organization analysis provides you and your senior leadership team with a three-dimensional current view of your business, organization, and leadership effectiveness and capacity. This diagnostic also identifies the potential barriers that can impede building strategic momentum.

Based on the insights found in the diagnostic analysis, we work with your senior leadership team to define/redefine your preferred future for your company. This includes defining an organization culture you aspire to, the brand that you wish to convey to the market, and the leadership model that will best create that future. By focussing on key strategic initiatives, clarity of decision making and accountabilities, the Rapid Alignment process provides structure, direction and momentum to your strategy implementation.

Individual Strategic Leadership Styles Coaching

For organizations to successfully change, individual senior leaders must fully leverage their leadership strengths and be fully committed to the transformation. In our Rapid Alignment process senior leaders receive an in-depth assessment of their leadership styles, values, and challenges within a comprehensive leadership feedback process. This in-depth feedback sets the foundation for increasing their strategic self-awareness to leverage their leadership strengths and mitigate leadership ‘blind spots’ for becoming more effective leaders.

Rapid Alignment Strategic Leadership Styles Coaching provides the critical next stage of a proven leadership performance methodology to enhance strategic self-management of critical leadership behaviors. This focused Rapid Alignment coaching process builds each senior executive’s leadership capacity to embrace the future, become more collaborative team members, and effectively lead and coach their next generation leaders. Pressing critical leadership issues are resolved through our Just-in-Time Leadership Coaching process. Leaders quickly learn to leverage their strengths in real time to achieve current and future business objectives and to proactively lead change implementation.

Senior Team Facilitation

Building on individual strategic leadership styles coaching results, we simultaneously facilitate executive team sessions using our Rapid Alignment process to ensure alignment on key strategic initiatives by all executives. Based on our professional expertise and proprietary Rapid Alignment tool-sets we have the agility to work with clients to resolve challenging and changing business and organizational issues in real time. Phased Rapid Alignment facilitation of team effectiveness processes enables the leadership team to address key competitive business challenges from more productive perspectives in a supportive team environment. Leadership Team sessions are conducted monthly to build a strong foundation for team collaboration and team effectiveness.

Team alignment and collaboration are executive leadership behaviors that are essential for achieving collaborative organization outcomes that transcend individual leaders’ functional accountabilities. Our Rapid Alignment team sessions provide a powerful action learning environment to build team consensus, solve problems and make team decisions. In these RA facilitated team sessions leaders build on the progress of their individual RA Strategic Leadership Coaching results.
