Mirror Mirror is a research-based alignment approach in two parts. Our diagnostic identifies and measures the extent of alignment between people in teams. And our framework – used by expert coaches trained to deliver Mirror Mirror – helps close the gaps. The process is safe and constructive. The outcome is more effectiveness.
People make sense of things in their own ways. They filter inputs using preferences, biases, and assumptions. This is great for ideation but it unless managed, it creates misalignment when it comes to implementation. Alignment gaps between people often sit under the surface. They leads to decisions and actions that don’t line up, creating unnecessary work, cost and frustration. We call it ‘The Fog’.

Our reports show
The common ground and differences between how people see their whole system at work
> The extent of alignment on the strategy and what is needed to implement it
> The extent of alignment on team learning behaviours
> The extent to which the organization is seen to support effective implementation


What the data does
Identifies and measures the extent of alignment
> Discovers opportunities for improvement that would otherwise sit in the blind spot
> Allows people to share and explore perspectives
> Gets issues on the table in an objective manner, without judgement or blame
> Evidences what needs further attention

What emerges from dialogue around the data
Whatever is needed for each team at that time, such as:
> lmproved clarity on the strategy
> Ideas and actions to improve collaboration
> Feedback for stakeholders
> New questions that arise from the shift in perspective


How teams benefit
> Reduce unnecessary frustration, cost and effort
> Explore different perspectives
> Stimulate engagement and group ownership
> Generate more effective action
