Transforming People in the Places They Work Since 2000
Launching an initiative creates a starting point. Delivering it requires people across functions to coordinate, address resistance, and follow through as conditions change.
​
Tiger Team Coaching embeds KeenAlignment alongside your cross-functional team as it leads a defined organizational priority. Building a high performance team requires shared accountability, candid communication, and the ability to adapt under pressure. We develop these capabilities in the work itself, strengthening team performance while advancing your initiative.
​
Three levels expand the scope of intervention: Team → Work → System.
"We knew something was missing; we just didn’t know what. Magi 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, Magi met with our team and told us that if we dared to embark on this journey it would change our life. "

Level 1 — Optimize the Team Dynamic
Elevate how the team operates while the work is happening.
​
Change puts pressure on people and pressure exposes the patterns that accelerate progress or undermine it.
High performing teams recognize how their own patterns affect progress. Level 1 focuses on the ontological dynamic of the team: how members are being, communicating, responding, and working together as they move a critical initiative forward. Coaching makes these patterns visible and strengthens the trust, accountability, and team effectiveness a high performance team needs to deliver.
​
The work focuses on:
​
Energy Management
Recognize and shift patterns that drain energy, create friction, or limit contribution. Develop the capacity to stay engaged and resourceful under pressure.
​
Personal Accountability
Strengthen ownership for commitments, individual impact, and shared results. Address missed agreements directly and restore accountability when execution breaks down.
​
Communication
Listen beyond assumptions, speak candidly, navigate disagreement, and have the conversations the initiative requires.
Team Environment
Cultivate trust, respect, and collaboration so members can surface concerns, challenge thinking, and contribute their strengths.
Level 2 — Optimize the Workflow
Advance the initiative with inline coaching.
​
Level 2 includes the team development of Level 1 and deeper intervention into how work actually moves.
​
A dedicated Workflow & Advancement Coach works alongside the Tiger Team as members translate priorities into action. Inline coaching brings development into the work itself, where competing demands, unclear ownership, and stalled decisions affect progress.
​
Together, we examine roles, handoffs, decision-making, meetings, processes, and information flow. The team addresses bottlenecks, clarifies commitments, and adjusts its approach as real challenges emerge.
​
The initiative becomes the developmental environment. Members apply new practices, assess their impact, and strengthen execution through experience.
​
The team advances the work while advancing how its members work together.
Level 3 — Optimize the System
Address the organizational conditions that determine whether change takes hold.
​
Some barriers extend beyond the Tiger Team’s authority. Conflicting departmental goals, approval structures, resource constraints, or performance measures can stall even a highly effective team.
​
Level 3 includes Levels 1 and 2, plus cross-functional consulting and systemic intervention. We work with relevant leaders and stakeholders to address the organizational conditions affecting the initiative.
​
The team learns to examine dependencies, anticipate downstream consequences, and coordinate changes across functions. Improvements become connected to the broader system, giving new ways of working the support they need to endure.
Build the Capacity to Deliver What Comes Next
Across all three levels, coaching develops your Tiger Teams through real initiatives and measurable outcomes. We strengthen how cross-functional teams communicate, coordinate work, and address the organizational barriers affecting execution. The scope expands as the work requires, from team effectiveness, to workflow, to the broader system.
​
Bring us the initiative your organization needs to move forward. Together, we’ll identify the coaching and intervention required to build a high performance team capable of delivering it.
