Board Alignment Intensive
A practical intervention for senior teams navigating growth under pressure
Why Executive Alignment Matters
Executive team alignment is the single strongest predictor of organisational performance.
Yet most boards spend more time circling problems than solving them.
The Board Alignment Intensive is designed to change that.
Google’s Project Aristotle showed that psychological safety is the key driver of innovation.
Amy Edmondson demonstrated that candour and trust are prerequisites for high performance.
Daniel Goleman, Amy Jacobson, and John Jeffcock highlight that IQ alone isn’t enough — it must be integrated with emotional and organisational intelligence.
When boards lack alignment, growth stalls. Decision-making slows. Opportunities are missed, and resilience erodes
When it is present, organisations make faster decisions, hold talent, and sustain momentum under pressure.
The Board Alignment Intensive – A Proven Intervention
Designed for boards and senior leadership teams navigating growth under pressure, the Board Alignment Intensive delivers a one-day reset that:
Surfaces unspoken tensions and trust gaps
Rebuilds candour and psychological safety
Resets communication and decision-making norms
Strengthens resilience under pressure
Aligns leaders around non-negotiables and priorities
How It Works
A structured three-part process:
Clarity Diagnostic (90 mins, virtual). Identify pressure points and decision bottlenecks.
Alignment Day (full day, in-person). Confront dynamics, reset trust, and establish new norms.
Action Embed (60 mins, virtual). Lock in commitments and sustain momentum.
Investment: £7,500 (up to 10 participants) / £10,000 (11–15 participants).
You’ll also complete a 5 Voices assessment - a strategic tool we use to help you understand how you are wired, how you communicate and how you make decisions.
What to Expect on the Day
In practice, the Board Alignment Intensive feels like:
Tough conversations made easier because the unspoken is finally spoken
Shared frameworks (including Five Voices) that depersonalise conflict and reveal patterns
Meetings that close with real outcomes instead of endless circles
Lightbulb moments where dynamics shift from problem-people to solvable patterns
A board that leaves clearer, lighter, and pulling in the same direction
Outcomes for Your Organisation
Faster decisions. Meetings conclude with clarity, not drift.
Stronger trust. Psychological safety allows real candour.
Sustained resilience. Pace and energy become manageable, not corrosive.
Commercial clarity. Leadership aligned around what matters most.
What Others Say
“We left lighter than we arrived.
Issues that had been slowing us down for months were on the table, dealt with, and behind us.
Decisions are moving again.”
“The shift was immediate.
Meetings that used to circle for hours now end with clear outcomes.
The team finally feels like a board, not a collection of individuals.”
“We thought our problems were personalities.
In one day we saw they were patterns - and that meant we could change them.
It saved us months of drift, and we all actually enjoy working together again!”
Why It Works
The Board Alignment Intensive combines research-based frameworks with facilitation that gets to the truth quickly.
Five Voices provides a shared language for dynamics.
Psychological safety ensures candour. Joy, as a leadership signal, keeps resilience alive at the core.
This isn’t theory. It’s structured, lived alignment that leaders feel immediately.
