Alignment is the Advantage | Becca Rusinko
How Leaders Restore Momentum in a World of Constant Change
Presented by Becca Rusinko, Project Manager Professional
Leaders today are navigating change and uncertainty from all directions. From shifting markets to evolving technology to the fact that most of us have waaaay more ideas than capacity, the old ways of strategic planning and execution can’t keep up. Methods like strategic roadmaps assume linear execution and fall apart in the face of common realities. Leaders get stuck in the weeds, orgs fall into reactive mode, and teams don’t know which way is up.
There is real pain behind these frustrations. The more the mission matters, the more painful it is.
This talk proposes operating rhythms as the solution. These rhythms weave vision and action to create flexible alignment so organizations can integrate new opportunities, inevitable challenges, and the things they learn along the way. They create a tangible sense of alignment and forward momentum, allowing teams to SEE and FEEL meaningful progress toward their mission and vision.
