SolutionsLeadership alignment

Thursday's offsite decides next year. The most senior voice speaks first.

The doubts come out afterwards, in the corridor. Send the leadership one Metafora before Thursday: each answers alone, before the most senior voice is heard, and the offsite starts where they disagree. A CEO or a consultant sends it.

The agenda, written from their answers.

Where the leaders disagree, in the page's order: the names on each side, and what nobody has said yet.

What the offsite starts from.

The pre-read that lets the offsite decide: where each leader stands, by name.

Their time, by hand or with one link.

Both sides count their time, not yours. Set the headcount to your own.

Round the table

5 hours

5 leaders × the first hour, going round the table

Counts every leader's first hour at the table.

With one link

about 4 minutes

5 leaders at once, about 4 minutes each

Each invitation says about 4 minutes: three or four answers in their own words, then four quick choices.

Before it reaches the leadership.

Whose name do they see?
Yours. The invitation carries your name, and replies come to you. A firm with a plan can send from its own address.
What do they see of each other?
Nothing. Each person is interviewed alone: nobody else asked sees their answer or their name, and only what they approve reaches you.
What goes to the offsite?
The page, as the pre-read. Export it as text with the names, or with the names taken out.

Your first Metafora starts with your work email.
