Strategically Aligning Our Synergies: A Memoir of Corporate Madness
By Kate Henry, CPA, CMA, MBA
 
“Let’s strategically align our synergies.”
You’ve heard it. You’ve nodded. You had no idea what it meant.
In this hilariously sharp memoir, Strategically Aligning Our Synergies takes you on a guided tour through the surreal landscape of corporate buzzwords, performative productivity, and office absurdity. 
 
From vision statements no one remembers to KPIs that measure vibes instead of results, author Kate Henry—a seasoned corporate strategist and accountant—reveals what really happens behind the mission statements and motivational posters.
 
This isn’t just a book. It’s a survival manual disguised as satire for anyone who’s ever:
Spent six hours rewording a PowerPoint title,
Sat through a meeting about improving meetings,
Been voluntold to “champion change,” or
Wondered if their entire department was in a performance art piece.
With chapters like “Budget Season: A Fictional Thriller”, “Thought Leadership & Other Career-Ending Moves”, and “The Strategic Plan Nobody Reads”, this book is for professionals who need a laugh—and maybe a lifeline.
 
You’ll learn how to:
Decode meaningless jargon like “synergy,” “alignment,” and “cascading communications”
Survive thought leadership without actually leading any thoughts
Recognize the warning signs of mission drift, planning fatigue, and dashboard theater
Escape a branding workshop with your dignity (mostly) intact
Perfect For:
✔️ Professionals with a sense of humor
✔️ Burned-out middle managers
✔️ New hires wondering if this is normal (it is. Unfortunately.)
✔️ Anyone whose job involves meetings, memos, or metrics
 
“If corporate culture had a diary, this would be it—complete with color-coded spreadsheets and a nervous breakdown in Cell D14.”
