Practical strategic advising

For your digital transformation efforts to succeed, you must carefully map the path to your goals. Critical evaluations of your current state, capabilities, teams, and budgets are necessary. A clear understanding of customer and business needs is mandatory. Metrics have to be established. And prioritization is vital.

While these may seem like individual tasks to be checked off a list, Leilani views them as practical and strategic waypoints on a roadmap designed for your team to reach together. With each step along the way, you and your team will grow in understanding of your company and each other, generate new ways of working, and potentially implement new tools or processes.

Leilani’s practical strategic advising can ensure a sustainable, predictable, and productive forward movement for people, teams, and companies. Let’s talk about where your strategic challenges.

Roadmap activation

Once your practical strategy is in place, it’s time to act. Detailed implementation plans need to be defined for all initiatives. People, processes, tools, and culture changes may be in order. As work progresses, reevaluation and reprioritization may be needed. With multiple teams and team members working from the same roadmap, you need someone reliable to direct traffic.

Leilani’s a natural change agent with a knack for helping others find new and better ways to get things done. She knows how to get the right people in the room to stop churn and keep things moving. Her ability to keep an eye on the big picture while tending to the important details has contributed to her success as a leader of large-scale digital transformation efforts.

Leilani can help your team follow through, work through challenges, pivot when needed, and keep moving toward your biggest goals. Let’s connect and unpack what’s hindering roadmap activation.

Workshops

Most leaders are moving at warp speed, and teams juggle competing priorities. Although it can seem challenging, carving out time to slow down will assist in moving forward with greater focus and speed to meet your enterprise goals while also ensuring cross-functional team alignment.

Step back from the day-to-day and give your leaders, teams, and customers what they need—no matter your specific challenges. Leilani facilitates workshops that ensure everyone has space to share their thoughts and ideas, has an eye for the big picture, a sharper focus on the work, and genuine excitement about bringing the most value to your business and customers—as quickly as possible.

Popular workshops include:

  • Strategic thinking for teams to align on goals, processes and priorities
  • Ideation workshops to gather input from a wide array of diverse stakeholders
  • Strategic planning for leaders to unify leadership, teams, and budgets
  • Hack-a-thons to generate creative digital solutions and collaboration

Leilani led both customer-facing and internal projects for us – in both roles, she was exceptional.  She built trust with our customers and led multiple initiatives simultaneously in a thoughtful, organized manner.  For our internal projects, she facilitated a cross-company initiative in an extraordinarily collaborative way, and championed an organizational change management approach that greatly improved the success of the project result.  She is thoughtful and empathetic and a pleasure to work with.
