Major change, turned into execution that holds.
For leadership teams in global brands. I align the people in the room with visual tools and I build the AI management practice that keeps it working after I leave.
For when a change has to land and the leadership team is still pulling in different directions.
Align the leadership team, then make it hold
A new organisation, a restructuring or a post-acquisition moment. Stakeholder interviews, leadership workshops, cascading alignment and anchoring support until the new ways of working hold.

Two decades in leadership rooms, distilled into one method and one book.
The work rests on one idea from the Stanford psycholinguist Herbert Clark: common ground, the shared understanding a team assumes it has and usually doesn't. Make it visible and people move together; leave it assumed and the strategy stalls in the gap. I started in distributed-team research at HEC Lausanne (PhD, 2002), co-authored High-Impact Tools for Teams with Alex Osterwalder (Wiley, foreword by Amy Edmondson) and have deployed the method inside global brands ever since.
The practice now adds a proprietary AI management platform, HARVN Pro, configured to each organisation's culture, governance and language, in production across banking, healthcare, luxury and consumer goods.
