Harnessing Collective Agency™
The science of alignment. The art of execution.
Our proprietary, research-backed framework transforms potential into performance.
It goes beyond traditional project management by aligning every person, partner, and process toward a single aspiration—mission success.
Why We Built This Process
Project management alone keeps projects on schedule.
Our process ensures they fulfill their purpose.
Traditional systems focus on control.
We focus on alignment—of intent, energy, and capability—because aligned systems outperform managed ones every time.
Rooted in organizational-development science and refined through years of practice, our process captures the collective agency that already exists inside your organization and channels it where it matters most.
The Five-Step Framework
1. Appraise the Current Reality
We begin with clarity.
Through interviews, data reviews, and environmental scanning, we identify what’s working, what’s limiting progress, and what untapped strengths exist.
Outcome: a shared understanding of your current state and the conditions for success.
5. Adapt & Sustain
Alignment isn’t static—it’s maintained.
We embed reflection loops, dashboards, and after-action reviews that keep progress visible and learning continuous.
Outcome: a self-correcting, adaptive system that improves with every cycle.
2. Align Aspirations and Intent
Next, we surface the aspirations driving your mission—those stated in strategy documents and the unspoken hopes of your people and partners.
Then we align them into one clear direction so every action contributes to a common purpose.
Outcome: unified vision, measurable goals, and buy-in from every level.
4. Achieve Through Focused Implementation
We co-create an action architecture: initiatives, owners, timelines, and success measures.
This keeps execution focused while allowing flexibility for innovation.
Meetings become momentum; reports become real results.
Outcome: coordinated action that delivers measurable mission impact.
3. Activate the Drivers of Agency™
This is the heart of our method—our proprietary framework derived from research into organizational drivers of performance.
We identify and calibrate five key “drivers” that determine how effectively people act toward goals:
Driver
Purpose & Vision
Resources & Capability
Motivation & Accountability
Relationships & Communication
Learning & Feedback
Focus
Clarity of direction and meaning
What enables or hinders performance
How effort connects to results
How collaboration amplifies progress
How the system adapts and improves
When these align, your organization’s collective energy becomes a single, unstoppable force.
Outcome: conditions for peak performance clearly mapped and activated.
