AlignOS turns confidential employee feedback into a CEO-ready diagnostic report in weeks. Built by practitioners who spent decades doing this work by hand at Danone, Kraft, B Lab, and beyond.
Methodology validated across consumer goods, financial services, professional services, and purpose-led organisations. AI architecture shaped by Oxford-trained research.
Annual surveys, town halls, and open-door policies often capture what people are willing to say safely. AlignOS is built to surface the patterns that decide whether strategy lands.
The cost of misalignment shows up as initiatives that launch but don't take hold. Reorganisations that solve one problem and create three more. Talent that leaves and, when asked why, says things that surprise nobody except the leadership team.
Most leaders believe they understand what's happening. They run surveys, hold town halls, maintain open-door policies. But these tools are designed to filter truth before it reaches the top, surfacing what people are willing to say in safe formats, not the patterns that determine whether a strategy will land.
AlignOS exists because this gap is solvable if you ask the right questions, in the right way, and analyse the answers with a framework built from decades of seeing what actually matters.
The same diagnostic creates different kinds of clarity depending on who needs to act: the CEO looking for the strategic pattern, the people leader diagnosing causes, the transformation team checking readiness, and the employees asked to speak honestly.
Get a report built for executive decision-making: a health snapshot, the real causes behind friction, and a small set of priorities your leadership team can act on.
Annual engagement data can tell you where morale shifted. AlignOS explains why, using employee language, coded themes, and a human-reviewed analysis layer.
For reorganisations, integrations, or strategic resets, AlignOS surfaces where teams are ready, where there is quiet resistance, and what staff believe would make the change credible.
The survey is designed around confidentiality from the start, with identifying information stripped and a minimum threshold before any signal appears.
AlignOS starts with the questions that matter, the ones that surface alignment, blockages, and the untapped intelligence of your workforce. The AI accelerates what used to take months. The methodology ensures it surfaces what actually matters.
Confidential survey, honest answers. Employees respond to carefully structured questions designed to surface causes, not just sentiment.
AI classification, human judgment. Responses are classified against 5 core themes and 21 facets, then reviewed by a practitioner.
A CEO-ready diagnostic, not a dashboard. Health snapshot, theme analysis, verbatim quotes, and prioritised recommendations.
Walkthrough and strategic review. We contextualise the findings, pressure-test recommendations, and help build a response plan.
Not a 200-slide deck. Not a dashboard you'll check once. A structured, truth-first report that respects your time and rewards your attention.
Overall organisational health, top risks, and a single "If You Do One Thing" callout. The critical picture in 60 seconds.
Five core dimensions analysed with verbatim employee quotes: what's working, where there's strain, and what your people want more or less of.
2-5 prioritised recommendations with rationale, connection to employee input, suggested timeframe, and ownership guidance.
Top requests, ranked by frequency and intensity. Often the most actionable section in the diagnostic.
"People understand the destination. What they need is permission to stop work that no longer serves it."
Reduce active strategic priorities to three, assign single accountable owners, and publish decision rules.
Before AlignOS was a product, it was a practice: decades of direct work with leadership teams diagnosing alignment issues, surfacing what employees were really thinking, and translating those insights into executive action.
"While I was the CEO of Kraft China, Tom helped us continually refine our focus and deliver growth from $150M to $1B in three years."
"The diagnostic process efficiently gathered and analysed opinions from hundreds of employees. The quick report gave me a clear directive on where to focus."
"This approach was the catalyst in our turnaround to double-digit growth. Rich employee voice and decisive recommendations meant we could move fast."
Security, confidentiality, and expert support are practical prerequisites for honest employee voice. AlignOS keeps them close to the product story without turning them into the whole story.
Responses are anonymised at source, with a minimum threshold of 6 respondents before any signal appears in a report.
The AI handles pattern work at scale. A practitioner reviews every report before it reaches your leadership team.
Data is stored within UK/EU jurisdictions, PII is scrubbed, and employee feedback is never used to retrain public AI models.
The report is delivered in conversation, so findings become priorities and priorities become a response plan.
The credibility now flows through the people and the practice: senior advisory experience, organisational change work, and research-backed AI architecture.
Tom has spent decades advising CEOs, boards, and senior leadership teams through high-stakes transitions, from post-merger integration at Kraft to growth turnarounds at Danone Waters and strategic refocus at B Lab Global. He founded AlignOS to make this diagnostic discipline faster, more rigorous, and accessible beyond six-figure consulting engagements.
Trevor is a specialist in talent management and organisational change who works with senior managers, executive directors, and board-level leaders. At AlignOS, he helps turn diagnostic findings into practical priorities leadership teams can execute.

These are the buyer objections worth answering on-page: survey fatigue, honesty, timing, the role of AI, and data security.
AlignOS confidentially gathers employee perspective, detects the patterns that matter, and turns them into an executive-ready diagnostic. It helps leadership teams see where strategy, communication, morale, and ways of working are aligned or blocked, then prioritises what to do next.
No. Surveys give you numbers. AlignOS gives you understanding. It captures what employees actually think in their own words, classifies it against a practitioner-built framework, and translates it into specific, prioritised actions. The output is a CEO-ready report, not a dashboard.
We start with leadership context and the current goals, invite employees to answer structured open-ended questions, classify the themes with AI, review the findings with human judgment, then deliver a concise report and walkthrough focused on action.
Anonymity is structural, not promised. Responses are stripped of identifying information the moment they're submitted: names, department references, role hints, and writing patterns that could identify someone. There's a minimum threshold of 6 respondents before any signal appears in the report.
Annual surveys measure sentiment. AlignOS diagnoses causes. Your annual survey might tell you morale is declining in a division. AlignOS will tell you why, and surface implementable ideas from the people closest to the problem.
Survey deployment to executive-ready report is typically 3-4 weeks. The survey itself takes employees 15-20 minutes. Analysis and report generation takes days, not months. The human review and contextualisation adds depth without adding quarters.
We walk you through the findings in a dedicated session, not a presentation. We contextualise the results against what we've seen in comparable organisations, pressure-test the recommendations, and help you build a response plan.
No. AlignOS is not a general-purpose chatbot pointed at sensitive comments. AI is used for bounded tasks such as classification, pattern detection, and confidence scoring, with human review before anything reaches leadership. Employee data is not used to train public AI models.
All responses are anonymised at source with a minimum threshold of 6 respondents per signal. Data is stored within UK/EU jurisdictions and never used to retrain public AI models. PII is automatically scrubbed. Retention windows are configurable, defaulting to 90-120 days.
It can be either. Some organisations use AlignOS as a one-off diagnosis before a major decision; others run it on a regular cadence to track whether action is landing and whether alignment is improving.
No pitch deck. No pressure. A conversation about what's happening in your organisation and whether a diagnostic would surface something useful. Or email directly: hello@alignos.co.
