The ALIGN Framework

Transforming the way businesses approach operations to provide a clear path forward for sustainable growth.

Introducing the ALIGN Framework:
A Smarter Approach to Strategic Operations

At Keene Lane Co. (KLC), we understand that business and marketing operations can often feel chaotic, disconnected, or inefficient. That’s why we developed the ALIGN Framework—a structured, results-driven approach designed to help organizations optimize their strategies by aligning their people, processes, and technology (including AI) for sustainable growth.

What is the ALIGN Framework?

ALIGN is our proprietary methodology designed to transform the way businesses approach operations. Whether you're struggling with inefficiencies, misaligned teams, or underutilized technology, ALIGN provides a clear path forward.

Each step of the ALIGN framework is carefully designed to create clarity, efficiency, and momentum in your strategic operations:
Diverse team collaborating

A - Audit & Assess

Every successful strategy starts with a deep understanding of where you are today. We conduct comprehensive audits and engage in deep-dive conversations to assess your existing systems, team capacity, and where smart technology like AI or automation can relieve bottlenecks or accelerate results." The goal? To uncover strengths, gaps, and opportunities for optimization.

L - Leverage Resources

Instead of reinventing the wheel, we identify and maximize the existing resources, tools, content, systems, and yes, even AI you may not realize you already have access to. We ensure that your people, processes, and technology are strategically aligned to support your business objectives.

I - Identify Opportunities

Once your operations are aligned, we look for growth opportunities. This includes pinpointing inefficiencies, optimizing workflows, and identifying areas for further development that will have the most impact on your performance.

G - Generate & Implement

With a strategic roadmap in place, we move into execution mode. This phase involves creating an actionable plan, implementing the necessary systems (some human, some AI-powered), and ensuring your operations run smoothly with team alignment. Execution is where strategy meets reality, and we ensure that your team has the tools and processes to drive success.

N - Nurture & Optimize

Operations are not a one-and-done process. To ensure long-term success, we review and refine strategies and tools (including AI) to provide ongoing support to optimize workflows and maximize efficiency. This phase is about sustainable growth—helping your business stay ahead in an evolving marketing and operational landscape.

Why ALIGN?

  • Proven Process: ALIGN provides a structured yet flexible roadmap to optimize marketing operations.
  • Tailored to Your Needs: No cookie-cutter solutions—every implementation is customized for your unique business.
  • Scalable & Sustainable: Designed to grow with your business, ensuring long-term efficiency and impact.
  • People-First Approach: Because true marketing success comes from the seamless integration of people, processes, and technology.

"A leader of people and process. Katy took several floundering processes and re-engineered them into award-winning programs. Some of these changes were responsible, in-part, for millions of dollars in savings for the organization. There was never a need to be concerned with the areas under her purview. She was seen as a great motivator and a workforce multiplier."
