Transforming People in the Places They Work Since 2000
Something important is happening. A new leader. A new strategy. Rapid growth. A change in ownership. A major launch. A new opportunity. Or simply the recognition that where you're going next will ask something more of your leadership team.
DeepAlignment™ brings your executive team together to level set, reconnect, and get aligned for what's next.
This isn't three days of presentations in a nicer conference room. It's an immersive, engaging executive offsite where leaders step outside the day-to-day, experience one another differently, have conversations that matter, and discover how to bring more of their collective intelligence to the opportunities ahead.
"My company’s DeepAlignment™ work with KeenAlignment has put us on a path to raise performance to the next level. This is not “touchy-feely” stuff. Rather, it is a methodical approach based in psychological science and a firm grasp of organizational dynamics. I recommend it to those who want to break through behavioral barriers to achieving higher performance."
Jeff McKibben, CIO, Ultra Clean Technology
When Something Changes, Leadership Has to Move With It
Healthy organizations aren't static. They grow. They evolve. They make bold decisions. They welcome new leaders. They enter new markets. They launch new ideas. They acquire, sell, relocate, restructure, expand, and reinvent.
And every significant change creates a moment when leaders need to ask: Are we aligned for where we're going next?
DeepAlignment™ creates the space for your executive team to get out of the operational weeds and level set around the organization, one another, and the road ahead.
Not because something is broken. Because something important is possible.
Is Your Leadership Team Ready for What's Next?
DeepAlignment™ is especially powerful when your organization is experiencing:
-
A new CEO, president, or senior leader
-
Leadership succession or transition
-
Rapid growth or expansion
-
A change in ownership
-
A merger or acquisition
-
A strategic pivot
-
Organizational restructuring
-
A major product or service launch
-
A move into a new market
-
A significant organizational change
-
A new chapter for a family-owned business
-
An ambitious opportunity that requires everyone pulling together
What Does It Mean to Level Set?
Level-setting isn't about getting everyone to think alike.
Quite the opposite. The strongest leadership teams bring different experiences, perspectives, strengths, ideas, and even disagreements to the table.
DeepAlignment™ enables leaders to understand those differences and use them. Together, you explore questions like:
Where are we now?
What is changing around us?
What will the next chapter require from us?
How do we communicate and make decisions together?
What strengths aren't we fully using?
Where could we make working together easier, faster, or more effective?
What do we need from one another to do our best work?
And ultimately: Who do we need to be together for what's next?
Three Days: One Powerful Shift
Day 1: See
Discover What's Already Here
Step outside titles, roles, and routines and get curious about the people around the table.
Explore the strengths, perspectives, behaviors, and assumptions each leader brings to the team.
Develop a richer understanding of how you operate individually and collectively.
And begin seeing possibilities that are easy to miss when everyone is moving at the speed of business.
Awareness creates choice.
Day 2: Align
Create How You'll Work Together
Now the team begins connecting the dots.
-
What helps us do our best work?
-
What do we need from one another?
-
How will we communicate?
-
How will we make decisions?
-
How do we bring healthy disagreement into the room?
-
How do we create accountability without losing trust or creativity?
Together, you'll develop shared language and practical ways of operating that make collaboration more natural and leadership more intentional.
Alignment isn't sameness. It's knowing how to move together.
Day 3: Experience
Put It Into Motion
This is where things get especially interesting. Through experiential challenges, your team gets an opportunity to put its new awareness and alignment into practice.
Plans change. New information appears. Different strengths become important. Leaders have to communicate, adapt, collaborate, and make decisions together.
Because you're experiencing these dynamics rather than merely discussing them, the lessons become memorable.
You'll see what happens when your team is genuinely connected and fully engaged. Then you'll take that experience back to the business.

"We knew something was missing; we just didn’t know what. Margaret Graziano and the team at KeenAlignment helped us understand who we are, what we want for our organization, and what the possibilities could be. One year ago, Margaret met with our team and told us that if we dared to embark on this journey it would change our life.
The DeepAlignment™ training was the most impactful event in my professional career. Throughout the training, the Keen team, sometimes gently and sometimes with a firm push – but always with humanity and respect, helped us define a culture that has made profound impacts on us as individuals and on us as a Team. To Margaret and the entire team at Keen, Thank you! You have changed my life forever.”
