Two Steps to Align Program Stakeholders

and Contain Risk

1. A Metaphor Mapping workshop gets everyone on the same page

• Brings all the stakeholders together in a one day, high-energy workshop
• Metaphors guarantee open, honest discussion
• Team members, users, program sponsor collectively map the big picture strategy and plan
• Visual statement of who does what

2. Execution Monitoring 

• Tasks and deliverables entered into performance system immediately after workshop
• Team members enter progress and tell any confidential concerns in just minutes per week
• Managers have line of sight and give feedback
