– ACE it! – Clarity, Focus, and Collective Impact for CEOs and CxO Teams
Leadership at the top means complex expectations, constant change, and continuous pressure. CEOs and CxO teams experience this every day – too many priorities at once, unproductive meetings, conflicting stakeholder demands, loss of energy within the team, and good ideas that get lost in the daily grind.
Today’s leaders need fresh, innovative tools for a world that is changing faster than organizations can adapt.
This is exactly where ACE it! comes in: an innovative, high-impact tool for idea generation, problem solving, and decision making in teams and organizations. Developed by Prof. Dr. Dr. Matthias Erhardt, founder of the Autoris Institute in Boston & Munich, the framework provides structure, speed, and collective intelligence. As a partner of Autoris, adcompanium applies ACE it! specifically in C-level and transformation teams – enabling strong ideas, effective solutions, and sustainable results.
Why ACE it! works in Top Management?
- Clarity instead of overload: Complex issues are translated into precise, actionable questions.
- Momentum instead of stagnation: Short, focused creative sprints spark energy and drive decisions.
- Shared responsibility: Learning and decision-making become a team sport.
- Courage to experiment: Mistakes are seen as opportunities to learn – not as failures.
The Method: Address – Create – Execute
The ACE it! Framework is as simple as it is powerful:
Address: Identify challenges clearly – and translate them into precise questions.
Create: Generate many ideas in a short time. Write before you speak – every voice counts.
Execute: Select, test, and implement the best ideas – creating visible progress and momentum.
The process is supported by proven tools such as the Wheel of Motivation, the Arrow of Success, and the Best Work Tool – all designed to help leadership teams master complexity and focus their energy on tangible results.
