Alignment and Stabilisation for Programmes That Can’t Afford to Drift
Silver Bird Consulting works with senior leaders on major programmes where the cost of misalignment is measured in months and millions. We help strategic priorities survive contact with the organisation.
You Know the Pattern.
The strategy is sound. The business case was approved.
And yet six months in, decisions are slowing, workstreams are pulling in different directions, and the leadership team is spending its energy managing friction rather than delivering change.
This is rarely a failure of planning. It is almost always a failure of alignment…
and it is fixable, if it is diagnosed properly rather than managed around.
Structured assessments of culture, organisation design and strategy execution, using Silver Bird’s own diagnostic frameworks. You get an evidence-based picture of what is actually happening, not opinions.
A fixed-fee leadership workshop that brings the real alignment issues into the open, agrees priorities and commits the team to next steps.
Ongoing counsel to the sponsoring leader and leadership team through the life of a change programme, so alignment holds under pressure. Focused, retained and discreet.
Each stage stands on its own, so you only ever commit to the next step.
Who You’ll Be Working With
Silver Bird Consulting is led by Alexis Assimacopoulos. He has spent 15 years inside the kind of programmes he now advises, most recently nearly six years at Bechtel, where he led organisation development across Europe on projects with clients including Crossrail, HS2 and Sellafield, and a programme critical to the UK Ministry of Defence.
His approach draws on a background in anthropology: understanding how organisations actually behave under pressure, not how the org chart says they should.
Recent work spans Travel, Nuclear, Mining, Public Sector and Infrastructure (with prior experience in Professional Services, Finance, FMCG, Defence, Healthcare and Third Sector).
Having Alexis as a sounding board for ideas, creating the structured agenda and his support, proved invaluable. The session was exceptionally well-executed, and all attendees were extremely satisfied with the outcomes
