Alignment By Design

Align. Prioritise. Take Action

This engagement will provide focus and alignment to tackle your key opportunities and business challenges. We achieve this by dissecting your existing strategic goals, addressing conflicting stakeholder needs, and navigating organisational constraints to align on a forward path. Through this process, your team gains a clear, shared understanding of the business challenges and insights into each other's perspectives. Additionally, we bring clarity to the risks and assumptions related to your initiatives and the broader business context.

This collaborative problem-solving experience culminates in an agreed-upon strategy or set of initiatives to move forward with.

Your organisation lacks clarity on which challenges are most important, and what opportunities exist for them.

We’ve already helped these companies

  • "Mike has helped us to develop and embed product thinking in our platform teams at Trade Me. During the 6 to 9 months of engagement with Mike, he worked closely with our platform teams to build blueprints and exemplar implementations of an end-to-end value-driven roadmap aiming to provide outcomes for our internal customers. Mike's knowledge of the product and platform strategy is unique. One of the highlights is Mike's engaging approach when working with engineering managers to ensure they understand the "why" behind Platform-as-Product concepts. He studies the culture and background of the company and localises the implementation tailored to your organisation.

  • “With help from Mike we saw new inexperienced product owners grow with confidence and share their experiences and newfound knowledge across the team. The more experienced team members were helped to focus on key areas of challenge and navigate through them. Mike held us all accountable to the things we’d say we’d do in our coaching sessions - making sure we saw results. “

    -Phil Bowen, Programme Director DeNovo (BankWest)

  • "As a leader, Mike is a visionary. He leads organisations in self-realisation and self-discovery. Business units have done their first-walks until becoming the pioneer in quality and innovation under his influence. He teaches innovation, strategy, digital transformation, risk management, and organisational culture. His approach and methods go from philosophy to jazz, design thinking to systems thinking, agile to lean. "

  • "Financial Controllers despise spending money, right? Not always. When we see a product which delivers value for money we are happy to open the petty cash tin. This is the relationship that BresicWhitney has with Mike, and the service being provided.
