Our Purpose
We believe aligned teams move the world forward. We design and build tools that empower purpose-led teams to achieve their ambitious goals faster.
Be Healthy
This is our first value. To achieve our purpose and business objectives, we focus on individual and organizational health to maintain a fresh perspective and optimal pace. Taking care of yourself - body, mind and spirit - will energize you, create a happier you, and unlock your ways of contributing to our team.
Be authentic
Authenticity is the gift of your true self - no pretension, no unspoken agenda. Authenticity brings walls down and trust up. Authenticity requires accountability.
Know why
Knowing why is the foundation of every focused action. It requires an intentional choice. It points to a stated objective, and it enables perseverance. A clear why steadies you through the how.
Be curious
Curiosity requires a learning mindset. Being curious means working to improve, expand and hone all inherent talents and gifts, as well as adding to and improving those acquired along the way. Being curious enables collaboration.
Keep it simple
Simplicity requires humility (self-assurance that less CAN mean more), focus (rigor in prioritization). Simplicity enables shared understanding and minimizes breakdowns in communication. Simplicity enables flexibility and agility.
Be excellent
Find the joy in excellence. Excellence is an aspiration that signals commitment, a learning mindset and drive towards mastery.
On how InspireHQ started...
Adam and Rich (co-founders) met for lunch in 2022 to catch up.
They’ve known each other since 2015, but on this day they were sharing insights and visions that were drawing on a combined 40 years of supporting enterprise alignment and the realities of making innovative initiatives happen.
Adam had built a successful development and consulting firm, designing and developing new software products and enterprise platforms that enabled more efficient and effective operations.
Rich had designed and built strategic alignment campaigns for some of the world’s most beloved brand portfolios (General Mills, E&J Gallo, Keurig Dr Pepper...).
"We realized we shared a passion for helping purpose-led organizations (and the individuals that power them) come together in service of how progress really happens.
We had seen good businesses with great products fail — most often because they lacked the ability to move with pace and precision in an ever-changing set of market conditions. We had heard rousing quarterly addresses from charismatic leaders about strategy and focus. But when “the chairs were stacked,” a lack of clarity and focus returned. We saw smart employees grow increasingly frustrated by duplication of efforts and an inability to see how their daily efforts were contributing to the overall mission.
Together, we envisioned a set of AI-enabled tools that could help establish and maintain what we call the Three 3’s (clarity, coordination and connection). We also envisioned launching a company that was passionate about helping great businesses and people come together to move the world forward. We now have a growing and amazing team of brilliant and committed people who are helping us bring this vision to life.”

This is Alignd. An AI enabled strategy alignment app in service of how progress really happens. A tool that enables you to clarify your organization's vision and priorities, focus actions to strategy and create asynchronous awareness of the energy and talent within your company. This is how it works.

We seek (and find) inspiration everywhere, and a recent example is Gen McChrystal's "Team of Teams," on leadership, teamwork and adaptability in a complex world.
