about
Light River gROUP
When cross-functional teams aren’t aligned, progress is either slow or non-existent. Team members are frustrated at best and exhausted and dejected in the worst-case scenarios. Leaders spend extra time getting everyone moving in the same direction, taking them away from their most strategic work. At Light River Group, we help leaders align key stakeholders and get everyone playing out of the same playbook.
