Team Alignment & Strategic Planning Process

“I spent 2 years trying to understand my business environment, how to improve my communication, and get a grasp on my team dynamics – Lynsey’s strategic planning process helped us get a grasp on where we are and where we want to be. We implemented change immediately and I could see the team dynamics start to shift – positively!”

I help small to midsize organizations create leadership teams that deliver powerful results through my tried-and-tested strategic planning process.

As an executive decision-maker, you’ve already worked hard to build a company that makes a difference in the world. The fact that you’re here right now means that you care about your company, your employees, and want to see people build successful careers – not just “do their job.”

But you know there’s room for improvement, and it’s possible that you’re struggling to pinpoint your problem areas that may be holding your organization back, or keeping you from hitting your projected growth metrics.

Most of my clients come to me with one or more of these core issues…

Need an outside perspective: They feel “too close” to their company to see the big picture, and are wondering if they’d be better off doing certain things differently.
Undefined values: Where the organization is now looks very different from where it started, so the direction forward needs to be reoriented and leaders aren’t sure where to start.
Unclear roadmap: A lack of focus and direction from “up top” trickles down to affect the company’s culture and productivity. Executives recognize that the company isn't as effective as needed and they need to create focus.
Chaotic workplace: Employees feel unsure of how they’re contributing to the big picture, and may feel disgruntled with their position. In many cases, high turnover and an unsettled culture become a symptom that needs to be addressed.
Lack of leadership: The organization’s leaders are missing key skill sets to drive the company toward your vision, they are your most valuable asset and worth investing in to generate the best results.
Financial leakage: When executives look at the numbers, they can tell that resources and funds are being wasted, yet they’re sure which actions to take to turn things around.

No matter what brought you here, it is clear you are committing to fixing problem areas and moving your company into a new era of success, impact, and growth.

You need a strategic planning process that works.

Hi, I’m Lynsey.

Over the years, I’ve held many roles and worn many hats, from C-suite executive to entrepreneur, speaker, and leadership coach. I’ve experienced all the ups and downs that come with managing a corporate team, but have also seen the massive impact that bringing in an outside consultant can make.

What I’m offering you is, plain and simple, a shortcut.

I know from experience that as an executive, you can’t be expected to know all the answers. Most of the time you really ARE too close to your problems (and too busy) to see the best solutions.

For the past 25+ years, I’ve honed my strategic planning process by working with companies such as Wells Fargo, Principal, and Nationwide Insurance to develop stronger leaders, redefine core values, clarify their goals, and develop a path forward that generates powerful results.

I offer guidance, tools, training, and proven strategies that have seen huge success in the workplace, all so you can experience these same results for yourself.

Here’s how I help organizations like yours:

Team building & professional development

Professional development workshops to help executives & departments gain valuable communication & leadership skills
In-person or online training webinars to ensure that important skills and strategies are taught to key roles or your entire employee base
Team alignment sessions to define team values, behaviors, and frameworks creating high performance teams

Business & leadership development

Re-evaluate core values and business direction to adapt to industry changes or shifts in the market
Strategic planning to establish goals, objectives, key results and an activation plan to drive execution (more on this below…)
Advanced leadership skills training (1:1 or in a group) to move from where you are today to your next role

Company communication & Training

Keynote presentations to communicate key company messages, develop your people, and ignite your culture
Workshops to drive key skills and behaviors throughout the company, creating the culture and team you are after
Customized leadership retreats to focus on your organizational needs, moving you from where you are today to where you want to be

Strategic Planning Process

My customized strategic planning process is designed to help you accelerate your company’s trajectory using a tried-and-true framework developed over years of experience from both inside and outside of the corporate world.

1

Assessment

Together we analyze where your company is now, the systems you’ve implemented so far, and a check against the competition

2

Strategic Direction

We figure out which direction you WANT to go in your business, the values and behaviors you will maintain along the path, and lay out your vision for the future

3

Focused Goals

We partner with your team to define and prioritize goals your team will focus on to march toward your vision

4

Roadmap

We identify the necessary resources, create an actionable plan, establish timeframes, and layout a complete path to successful execution.

5

Implementation

Together we craft a communication plan, define a system to track and measure progress, and empower the team to execute

6

Annual Alignment

Scheduling an annual checkpoint will allow you to reflect on the past year, assess the current state and modify your roadmap as needed.

Here are some of the results you can expect:

Clearly defined company goals are communicated to leadership teams and cascaded through the company, with focus they successfully implemented the steps towards achieving those goals
Leaders create a highly collaborative workplace that fosters constructive communication and delivers better, faster results within each department
Company resources and personnel are reallocated to ensure that funds and resources are put where they can deliver the best results
Executives feel “caught up” to gradual changes in their audience and industry, allowing them to surpass their competition
Leaders and teams feel valued when they received development training, creating loyalty to the company
New ideas stirred up through an objective set of eyes, a collaborative approach, and a solid vision for the future
