The Strategic Alignment Engine

Two focused operating-model resets that remove cross-functional friction and restore predictable execution.

When teams grow, priorities diversify, and the organisation scales, the operating model often lags behind.

The Strategic Alignment Engine is a structured way to realign how work moves across teams so leaders regain clarity, predictability, and performance.

It offers two complementary operating-model resets, each designed for a different type of cross-functional friction.

What the Strategic Alignment Engine Delivers

  • Clear ownership and decision pathways

  • Unified workflows and handoffs across functions

  • Predictable planning and delivery rhythms

  • Reduced rework, fewer escalations, and less operational noise

  • Better use of engineering/BI/ops capacity

  • Faster, more reliable execution

Which One Do You Need?

Rise Operating Model Refresh

When overlapping teams need clarity, ownership, and unified ways of working

Choose Rise if you’re seeing:

  • Two or more teams stepping on each other’s toes

  • Unclear roles or repeated escalations

  • Parallel planning or duplicated workstreams

  • Inconsistent tools/workflows across functions

Typically involves:
Operations, People Ops, Customer Ops, Marketing Ops, enablement/support functions

Core outcome:
A clearer, faster cross-functional operating model with defined ownership, aligned workflows, and reduced friction.

Commercial–Product–BI Alignment

When Commercial, Product/Engineering, and BI need a shared operating model

Choose CPB if you’re seeing:

  • Commercial, Product, and BI on different priorities/timelines

  • Unstable roadmaps and mid-cycle shifts

  • BI pulled in too late

  • Rework, bottlenecks, or revenue opportunities stalled

Typically involves:
CEO/COO, CPTO, VP Product, VP Revenue, Heads of BI/Data, Engineering leaders

Core outcome:
A unified prioritisation and planning model that integrates commercial goals, product strategy, technical considerations, and BI insight.

Not Sure Which One Fits?

If you’re seeing friction across multiple functions, or symptoms appear in both categories, a short conversation helps determine where to start — and how the two resets can complement each other over time.
