Aligning a group in transition: co-creating the 2030 vision.
A multi-entity group active in construction and infrastructure was beginning a major transition: new leadership mandates, renewal of the executive committee, and the need to strengthen group identity while respecting each entity’s culture.
Transition as an opportunity: clarify, align, accelerate
A large multi-entity group active in construction, renovation, transformation and infrastructure was entering a decisive moment of governance transition: an Executive Chairman appointed in 2023, a new CEO expected in January 2026, a new HR director, and significant renewal of the executive committee. This transition created a strategic opportunity to consolidate identity, alignment and execution.
The group's autonomy model is a strength — but also a barrier to cross-functional alignment. Cultural variations, silos and fragile trust were limiting mature collaboration between the holding and the entities.
The leadership challenge: building a group identity without erasing the entities' cultures.
A three-stage programme: before, during, after
We designed a comprehensive programme structured in three phases:
- Before: framing meeting with leadership, participant questionnaire (expectations, tensions, priorities), immersive experience design
- During: opening narrative from leadership, cultural diagnostic (strengths, tensions, unspoken patterns), walking dialogues to break down silos, KIDI workshop (Keep – Improve – Drop – Introduce), exploration and co-creation of the 2030 vision, Impact–Effort prioritisation
- After: consolidated synthesis, follow-up workshops, support for governance rituals and cross-functional execution
Co-creating a shared 2030 vision
The off-site was designed so that the 2030 vision would be genuinely co-constructed — not handed down from the top. Every sequence was crafted to give people a voice, surface tensions and convert conversations into concrete commitments.
Deliverables include:
- 2030 vision narrative and priorities
- Map of the group's cross-functional priorities
- Post-off-site tools, memos and references
Cohesion, alignment and operational momentum
The programme is designed to strengthen alignment, trust and delivery capacity during governance transitions. By offering a structured space for new leadership to find its voice and for entities to recognise themselves in a shared vision, the off-site creates the conditions for lasting cross-functional collaboration.
"For the first time, holding and entities built something together. The 2030 Vision is genuinely ours — not one handed down from the top."
