Driving 200 Leaders
To One Vision
Driving 200 Leaders to One Vision
When 200 automotive leaders—who typically operate within their own organizations came together to tackle shared challenges, we didn't just facilitate conversation; we ignited a collaborative revolution. This gathering, convened by an automotive trade association under new leadership, proved that even in the most siloed environments, high-quality, impactful collaboration isn't just possible—it's transformative.
The Transformation Story
As we began this unprecedented collaboration, three critical challenges emerged:
- Industry leaders needed new interaction models to comfortably share insights
- Coordinating 200 senior leaders across six strategic priorities required innovative engagement frameworks
- Deeply entrenched silos threatened to derail cross-functional integration efforts
Our Approach
We designed a dynamic self-guided facilitation model where:
- 200 leaders moved through six immersive environments—each transformed into interactive zones with visual prompts, tactile elements, and collaborative canvases.
- Subject matter experts guided organic discussions, encouraging participants to build upon and react to emerging visual artifacts.
- Shared creation exercises converted individual perspectives into collective intelligence through cycles of building, feedback, and refinement.
This experiential, visually-driven approach generated palpable energy as participants witnessed their contributions evolve into tangible strategies. Leaders left with both aligned priorities and the emotional investment that comes from seeing their personal imprint on the organization's future direction.
Our Impact
Within 6 months of our engagement, the company:
- Integrated diverse perspectives into comprehensive strategies across six priority areas.
- Achieved 97% satisfaction with workshop design and 95% positive rating for facilitation.
- Generated 90% increase in alignment and confidence with new strategy.
"The collaborative energy they sparked didn't fade when they left; it's become embedded in the table we convene at. Months later, we're still talking about it."
