Learn the MtL Executive Alignment System. Plan, Operate, and Govern as One.
MtL is a learn-by-doing Executive Alignment System. Your organization is the case. In ten weeks your leadership team builds a simple cadence of collaborative habits. Get clear on what you aim to achieve by when. Assess where you are now and why change is required. Choose the few initiatives that matter most, then launch, guide, and govern them to your next state. The result: a team that plans, operates, and governs as one.
How it Works
Do short prep on your own. Then you and your team join weekly two-hour live working sessions with other teams, including instruction, practice cases, role plays, and guided application to your case. You get real-time feedback from teammates, cohort peers, and instructors, supported by the AI-powered IntelliVen Operations Advisor (IVOA) workspace.
What You Get
Shared clarity your whole team owns. A small set of initiatives ready to run with owners and checkpoints. A Plan-Do-Review rhythm that sustains performance and growth, grounded in seven simple truths leaders often overlook.
Get Clear. Align. Grow.
What you’ll learn
Most leaders think their team is aligned. What if they aren’t? MtL reveals hidden gaps and builds habits to get clear and act as one.
Build your ECF: W-W-W; how you operate, sell, and grow; KPIs vs past, plan, and peers; and who owns what.
Make the case for change and define NEXT: target state by when; select, sequence, and staff the few initiatives.
Your private IVOA Sandbox gives feedback, flags overlaps and gaps, and proposes a consolidated, action plan that drives discussion.
Reveal gaps across WHAT-WHO-WHY, priorities, and owners; turn competing views into one shared decision set.
Use your private AI-guided IVOA Sandbox to flag inconsistencies, propose consolidations, and smooth collaboration to alignment.
Leave aligned on a clear mandate, ECF, and 3 to 5 initiatives with owners, leadership support, and a PLAN-DO-REVIEW rhythm that sticks.
Identify your operating model: Product, Service, Operation, Channel, or Exchange.
Map DO–SELL–GROW processes to locate the current constraint to growth / performance.
Select the vital few metrics, financial and nonfinancial, leading and lagging, tied to your operating model.
Build a one-page dashboard: results vs past, plan, and peers, with thresholds, trends, and the story it tells.
Set to compare actuals to projection; explain variances, note implications, capture lessons, and assign owners for next steps.
Create a Priorities Heat Map to pick the few that matter; align on scope, outcomes, and sequencing.
Use Initiative-to-Action plans to set sponsors, owners, milestones, budgets, risks, and success measures.
Govern with Plan-Do-Review and IVOA support to deliver on time, on target, and on, and often under, budget.

Schedule
Live sessions
2 hrs / week
Live sessions bring leaders and their teams (3 to 7) together with peer teams to go deeper on each topic, role play real cases, and pressure test their MtL application. Get feedback from peers, instructors, and outside reviewers, and leave with clear next steps for your case.
Projects
1-3 hrs / week
After each module, work with your team and an assigned Principal Consultant to apply MtL to your case. Refine your Mandate, W-W-W, and ECF; set metrics; and select one initiative for outside review in the last session. Incorporate that input into your final submission for instructor feedback and completion award level.
Async content
1 hr / week
Plan for about 1 hour weekly: before each live session, read/watch short prep and do 40 minutes of sample and practice cases in Maven; after class, spend 20 minutes capturing lessons learned and drafting how you’ll apply them to your team’s case.
