🚀 Aligning for Impact: How Siemens Set the Course for 2025 with Miki Island

🔎 Setting the Stage

Siemens, a global leader in technology and innovation, embarked on a mission to bring sharper alignment to its leadership team as part of its bold Vision 2025. With rapid industry shifts and ambitious growth targets, it became clear that traditional strategy meetings wouldn’t cut it.

The team needed an experience that was not just insightful – but engaging, collaborative, and action-oriented.

⚡ The Alignment Challenge

As 2025 approached, Siemens leaders faced a familiar challenge – bringing together diverse perspectives, aligning around common goals, and building clarity on how to work better together.

The objectives were clear:

• 🔭 Align on a unified vision for 2025

• 🤝 Define new ways of working to boost agility and cross-functional collaboration

• 💡 Enhance team dynamics to accelerate execution

The need? A fresh, immersive format that would go beyond slides and speeches — something that would spark energy, insight, and connection.

🏝️ The Power of Play: Enter Miki Island

To meet the moment, Tim Wieringa from Hive 17 facilitated a tailored Miki Island workshop as the centerpiece of Siemens’ annual strategy offsite.

This wasn’t your typical retreat. Miki Island transformed strategic alignment into an immersive, team-based experience – engaging, practical, and highly impactful.

Through the workshop, Siemens leaders were able to:

🎯 Visualize and prioritize 2025 goals in a hands-on, interactive way

🧠 Reflect deeply on team dynamics and ways of working, including the importance of psychological safety, clarity in roles, and mutual accountability

💬 Strengthen collaboration and trust, using the simulation’s challenges to spark meaningful dialogue and unlock innovative thinking

By simulating real-world team dynamics in a gamified environment, the session created a safe space for exploration, alignment, and commitment – all while keeping energy high and learning fun.

🚀 What Changed: Real Results, Real Momentum

The impact of the session was immediate and measurable. Leaders didn’t just talk about alignment – they experienced it.

✅ Clarity and Focus: The team walked away with a shared vision and clear, prioritized goals for 2025
🛠️ Improved Collaboration: New agreements around ways of working were formed, grounded in trust, agility, and openness
🗺️ Actionable Roadmap: Participants co-created a clear path forward, turning offsite insights into practical steps for execution

🌟 Moving Forward

The Siemens leadership team left the offsite energized, aligned, and equipped to lead with purpose and cohesion.

Miki Island didn’t just support the session – it amplified it. It turned alignment into a shared experience, strategy into action, and team dynamics into a competitive advantage.
