Featured Talks
AI is accelerating- yet many organizations are quietly losing value to fragmentation: parallel pilots, duplicated spend, uneven guardrails, and cross-functional rework. In this 60-minute interactive session, Lisa Duerre shares applied research insights from RLD Group’s AI Leadership Alignment Insights Paper (executive interviews + field work) and guides leaders through a practical Alignment Fast Scan using an I–WE–US lens: individual leadership capacity (I), team execution dynamics (WE), and organizational governance and communication (US).
Participants will pinpoint where fragmentation is showing up in their system, protect the AI wins they can’t afford to lose, and leave with one clear 30-day alignment move that reduces coordination tax and increases both speed and trust—without launching a heavy change program.
Audience
Best for C-suite and senior functional leaders (CIO/CTO, CHRO, CISO, COO), transformation leaders, and cross-functional executives responsible for scaling AI initiatives - especially organizations experiencing duplicated pilots, inconsistent guardrails, or cross-team rework.
Learning Outcomes
Participants will be able to:
- Identify common signals of fragmentation that reduce AI value (duplication, rework, uneven guardrails)
- Diagnose the highest-leverage alignment gap using the I–WE–US lens
- Define a 30-day alignment move, assign ownership, and select two progress signals (speed + trust)
Optional format
Lisa can deliver this session solo, or RLD Group’s research team is available as a panel for expanded Q&A and cross-functional perspectives.

Organizations often assume execution challenges stem from strategy, talent, communication, or accountability.
Yet many execution breakdowns originate in something less visible: hidden friction in how people naturally take action, solve problems, make decisions, and move work forward.
In this interactive keynote and workshop, Alicia Couri combines practical business insight, the science of conation, and RLD Group's I–WE–US leadership alignment lens to help leaders identify where execution is breaking down—and why.
Participants will uncover sources of unnecessary complexity, duplication, delays, communication breakdowns, and rework that impact team performance and organizational results. Through insights from the Kolbe methodology, they will better understand how different instinctive approaches to work influence collaboration, decision-making, accountability, and execution.
Leaders will pinpoint where alignment is breaking down, identify opportunities to reduce friction across teams, and leave with a practical framework for recognizing where execution breaks down, understanding why it happens, and taking immediate action to improve performance across individuals, teams, and organizations.
Audience
Best for CEOs, executive teams, HR and People leaders, operations leaders, organizational development professionals, and cross-functional leadership teams seeking to improve collaboration, accountability, execution, and organizational performance.
Learning Outcomes
Participants will be able to:
- Identify hidden sources of friction that reduce team performance, slow execution, and impact organizational results.
- Understand how different instinctive approaches to work influence collaboration, decision-making, accountability, and cross-functional execution.
- Apply the I–WE–US leadership alignment lens to reduce friction, strengthen alignment, and improve execution across individuals, teams, and organizations.
Optional format
