Getting stakeholders moving in a coherent direction.

A destination can't be reached if your crew doesn't understand the map, potential perils, where the wind and currents are favourable, and their role on the ship. The finesse is in targeting the engagement activities to the needs and desires of your team, the timing and sequencing of execution. It's a rigorous science as well as an art based on experience.

What does this really mean?

Listening carefully to everyone as individuals and with defined occasions to listen to each other.
Facilitating participation with opportunities to be involved in real projects and experience the outcomes as aspects of a new vision are realised.
Addressing the anxiety around change when re-aligning business processes. It is not uncommon for those tasked with implementing change to have concerns. After all, no one wants to believe their past efforts have been wasted or misdirected. Your team becomes motivated with trust in the new direction and belief in their skill set.

Each and every team member needs to believe in their contribution.
