Stefano's Team Alignment Map is the most effective, action-oriented strategy tool I have seen in my 15 years activity as a facilitator. The tool is intuitive, focusing on the essentials and binding for commitments. It easily integrates in any strategic process and is since part of my meetings and workshops. The team alignment map is open, flexible and adapts to critical missions as well as to creativity. Try it out, this is really worth the little time you will need to get familiar with the method.
Ivan Torreblanca
CIO / CTO at ListGlobally
Stefano is one of a kind, combining the rare fusion of strategic, project and operational management skills with a strong mastery of human psychology and a sharp business and IT acumen. When it's about collective performance, Stefano's ability to juggle with all these disciplines and move organizations positively towards actionable results is truly remarkable. The simple, efficient and effective tool Team Alignment Map he invented, is an extraordinary witness of his outstanding work.
José-Carlos Barbará
Founder of SOULRISE and UPTEAMS
In coordinating the International Business Seminar Program, Brazilian FGV's side, I had the joy to count with Stefano as a teacher. His Team Alignment Methodology is a breakthrough in the management of work processes. All the top executives participants in this program have been strongly impacted. I'm convinced that while Alexander Osterwalder changes the history of Business Strategy, through his now famous Business Model Generation, Stefano will do no less by advancing the management of processes with his Team Alignment. Switzerland has it all.
