Ian Webster – Founder, Wharf Consultants UK

“Whenever organisations want to change and run projects, securing alignment and building consensus is frequently a major challenge. It’s one thing to be aware of discourse and misalignment, but another thing entirely to be able to discuss and resolve it. Mirror Mirror solves this problem, by providing the qualitative & quantitative data needed to prompt the vital conversations. The types of discussions that can build alignment and deliver consensus for a change.
A key element of my work is helping organisations to recognise their nature as complex systems with lots of interacting components. Mirror Mirror with its team alignment focus, highlighting what’s happening between team members, is a perfect tool to support this type of work.
The alignment challenge for many projects comes in how the change is integrated into the wider organisation, rather than within the project team itself. Mirror Mirror’s ability to make an early alignment check across the wider team is a vital tool for any project manager. The sooner any misalignment is uncovered, the greater the chance of project success.
