Tailwind’s Solutions can be implemented at the Individual, Team, or Enterprise level
INDIVIDUAL
Designed to accelerate the assimilation of key talent, this structured process fully integrates strategic hires with their company’s strategy in their first 90 days. Experienced coaches help transitioning executives analyze their new situation, clarify their Role in strategic execution and build a personal Strategic GamePlan© that is perfectly aligned with the overall strategy. Our process can complement and enhance existing on-boarding programs by focusing on the often underserved dimension of strategy.
Executive Assimilation
Executive Assimilation is a comprehensive solution that ensures Transitioning Leaders are on the same page--culturally and strategically. Executive Assimilation takes OnBoarding one step further by analyzing the culture of the hiring company and comparing that to an individual assessment of the new executive or manager. Using robust instruments, we then predict which touchpoints will have to be managed and coach the transitioning leader in both cultural assimilation and individual strategic integration.
Strategic Coaching
Our unique applied course in strategic thinking focuses upon the individual’s situation. Executives learn by doing and benefit from a highly structured process delivered by experienced coaches. Our coaching focuses on helping key players translate strategy at their level, and our process has proven to be effective with any executive-- regardless of their prior strategic thinking and planning experience. The result is executives who are highly engaged, strategically relevant, and on the same page with their senior leaders.
TEAM
Strategy Acceleration Sessions
Strategy happens at all levels of an organization, yet many executives and teams have not had a lot of experience pulling together a strategy and getting everyone on the same page. Our proven processes help you separate the vital few from the trivial many and reach true consensus on a strategy built around whole-business thinking. The result is a clear and compelling strategy that is completely understood by everyone on the team. Each member will also be very clear on their role and individual priorities in its execution.
Getting everyone on the same page strategically is the key to excellence in execution. We specialize in translating strategy at the individual level and aligning people in the organization, both vertically and horizontally. This is not a classic teambuilding exercise. We work closely with the team leader to cascade their strategy with the members of the team, build consensus, and translate the strategy at the individual team member level. The result is total team alignment and execution around a single strategy.
ENTERPRISE
Our approach to alignment revolves around aligning your people with your strategy. We help you frame your strategy so that your people can connect to it. We use our proprietary Strategic GamePlanning© process to enable executives and managers at all levels to translate and drive your strategy at their level. The result is that each of them builds their own individualized, one-page version of your strategy—owned by them and perfectly aligned with you.
