Struggling to decide where to place your next big bets?

Struggling to decide where to place your next big bets?

Your leadership team is on the hook for delivering a step-change in commercial performance — and needed it yesterday.

You’ve tried the usual moves

Consumer demand is shifting. Price competition is putting long-term performance at risk. 

Big personalities. High stakes. Conflicting priorities. No obvious right answer. And a room full of smart people with different versions of success.

Without the right structure, decisions get delayed, diluted, or endlessly debated.

And the window for impact gets smaller by the day.

When the stakes are high, the decisions are hard. That’s exactly when most leadership teams get stuck.

There’s risk (and opportunity) in every direction.

Every option demands a trade-off. Every trade-off affects someone’s numbers, team or influence.

So people protect their patch. High-level priorities stay ambiguous.

Instead of clarity, you get consensus.

We help you surface tensions early, structure conversations around priorities and trade-offs, and commit to the decisions that drive performance.

What's the solution?

Get your leadership team aligned and moving.

At Sprint Valley, we bring senior leaders together to align on the bold moves that matter and leave with clarity, confidence and commitment to act.

How Molson Coors unlocked a new commercial strategy.

Molson Coors was facing a clear but uncomfortable truth: alcohol consumption was changing. Pressure was building and the leadership team needed to agree on what bets would make the difference.

Previous planning cycles took months, meaning time was lost navigating internal approvals instead of getting big bets working in the wild.

Our brief? Short-circuit the planning cycle in 2 days.

In two days, we helped a pan-European leadership team surface tough trade-offs, build a focused strategy portfolio, and gave the team a clear, board-ready narrative. The plan was agreed 6 months early and backed at every level.

Why our approach works in any industry

Why our approach works in any industry

Why our approach works in any industry

Every organisation faces different market forces, cultures and constraints. But when it comes to aligning senior leaders around big strategic decisions?

The challenges are remarkably familiar.

Debate drags on because there’s no shared structure for making trade-offs.

Decisions stall because the stakes are high and the risks feel personal.

Ownership wavers because no one’s quite sure where the line gets drawn.

These patterns show up everywhere from FMCG to finance, healthcare to tech.

That’s why our approach focuses on the behavioural dynamics behind alignment: Creating structure. Surfacing tensions. Accelerating decisive action.

Because when leaders align on what really matters, the whole business moves faster.

What’s the best way to align senior leaders around strategy?

Start by creating space to surface tensions, clarify trade-offs, and define shared priorities.

Focus less on getting everyone to agree and more on creating clarity around what you’re agreeing to. The most productive sessions aren’t about consensus, they’re about commitment to shared direction.

Sprint Valley’s strategic facilitators provide the structure, facilitation and behavioural insight to help leadership teams move from polite discussion to real commitment.

How do I get executives on board with a new way to set strategic direction?

Start by acknowledging the pressure they’re under and the cost of trying to solve it the old way.

Senior leaders are often hesitant to try something new unless it solves a real problem fast. So don’t pitch it as a new process. Frame it as a way to finally get unstuck: To make the decisions that keep stalling. To align faster, without endless meetings.

Reach out anytime, we’re happy to help you shape the business case for doing things differently.

Why bring in an external facilitator for strategy alignment? Can’t we do it in-house?

When the stakes are high and perspectives are varied, even experienced internal leaders can struggle to remove the bias.

Consciously or not, internal facilitators often carry organisational history, team loyalties or strategic agendas. That makes it harder to guide tough conversations, challenge assumptions, and ensure everyone’s voice carries equal weight.

Bringing in an external partner creates a level playing field. It removes hierarchy from the room, creates space for challenge, and keeps the focus on decisions — not politics.

How long does a leadership alignment process take?

The core alignment typically happens in a focused 2-day working session — designed to get real decisions made, fast.

Around that, we usually run a short upfront design phase (1–2 weeks) to set the structure, shape the right inputs, and meet stakeholders before we get in the room.

After the session, we support downstream planning, documentation, or cascading the strategy depending on what’s needed to move things forward.

Most engagements run end-to-end in under 4 weeks.

But the decisions made in the room can shape strategy for the next 18-24 months.

Can we align leaders virtually or in person?

Both work depending on the context, the people, and the pressure.

At Sprint Valley, we regularly deliver successful leadership alignment sessions virtually, in person, and in hybrid formats.

In-person is ideal when there’s high tension or big decisions on the table; it creates the focus and personal connection needed to move fast.

Virtual works well when teams are globally distributed or already used to making decisions that way.

Often, the best approach is a mix: using virtual sessions for pre-work and follow-up, and reserving in-person time for focused progress.
