What is the Top Team Alignment Program?

00:09
The Top Team Alignment Program has been designed by Genioo for key executives on a corporate or on a functional level, in order to prepare and align them for a change. Change can come from a new strategy, from a strategy update, or from a larger transformation. It's a well-engineered, and I would even say a scientific, approach in order to achieve the alignment.

The Top Team Alignment Program always starts with the end in mind. So at the end, in the last week, we do a two- to three-day off-site with the leadership team, which can be remote but can also be in person. And before that, we have a couple of different interventions. There are interviews, there's a survey, and there are also special sessions in order to educate the people and bring them all onto the same page.

At the end, basically, we have a clear plan and a fully aligned team. And the most important element, probably, is that everybody in your team can explain the strategy to their teams.

The benefits of the program

01:04
The benefits of the Top Team Alignment Program are twofold. There is a hardwiring and there is a softwiring component. The hardwiring component is that you get a tangible plan with milestones, accountabilities and prioritized initiatives, so everybody in your team knows exactly what to do, when to do it, and with whom to do it after the program.

01:27
The softwiring component comes from involving these people early in the program. They have more buy-in, they own the plan more, they own the strategy more, they understand it better, and there is also a team-building element to it.

Clients love our Top Team Alignment Program. We have a 4.9 out of five-star rating. The feedback we get from them is not only that they love the tangible plan they can track against, but it's more the ownership and the understanding that their teams have of why they're doing it, which then is a self-motivation for them to do it.
