Strategic Alignment
Developing competitive strength, and excellence
in execution
The challenge of alignment is creating an immutable force working
in service to the customer, the organizational and its employees.
Yet, how often have you heard colleagues musing about “not
being on the same page”?
Change, integration, mergers , acquisitions---common place events
in the business world. Too often, expected synergies and performance
are not achieved. Typical approaches do not include taking the strategic
view and executing with perseverance to go after desired results.
Our approach to strategic alignment direct targets a way to get
you, your team and the organization on the same page...and moving
to peak performance.
Sustainable competitive advantage---the unique and difficult
to duplicate advantages your company offers it’s customers---is
what we are after.
Ascertaining the defining competencies and values of the organization
and optimizing them in concert with the individual efforts of each
employee provides The process of developing alignment, though, can
seem overwhelming. It requires that organizations become adept at
exchanging information across boundaries and it requires employees
to clearly understand and act with confidence when facing decisions
that impact their day-to-day work. Most importantly, it requires
that everyone stay focused on the whole yet act as independent agents
in service to the goals of the company.
KLI can help to define what matters for your organization, position
leadership in the organization to engage the energies of employees
and sustain focus on the end goal. Our process is phased, congruent,
concurrent, and can help your organization to be among the leaders
in tough competitive markets.

A Client's Feedback on Working with KLI and Paulette
Gabriel:
I engaged Paulette to work my senior management
team on some issues of teamwork and communication that were
hindering our effectiveness. While operationally excellent,
the team struggled with setting a strategic agenda and providing
clear, cohesive leadership to the division.
What I valued most about Paulette's
contribution towards the resolution of my business problem:
Paulette was expert at identifying development
objectives for me as the leader, for other members of the
team, and for the team as a whole. She used a variety of techniques
ranging from personal 1:1 interviews, assessment instruments,
and team activities. Her perceptions were extraordinarily
intuitive and accurate. Her toolkit seems to be bottomless.
Paulette was uncompromising in her push to
turn aspirations into action plans to enable us to achieve
the desired change. This is often not the case in an engagement
of this type, where it is easy to spot the problem and walk
away without providing the tools to solve the problem.
Paulette demonstrated a sincere interest
in team members as people which went a long way towards building
an atmosphere of trust. She has superior interpersonal skills
and very strong facilitation skills. This enables her to adapt
her approach to fit the situation, and also to know when to
push and how hard towards the desired change - often a delicate
balance.
