Clarity for Leadership & Teams Facing Complex AI Decisions.

We help executives and teams make clear, aligned decisions about AI — what to pursue, what to pause, and what to avoid — using structured, hands-on strategy sessions that reduce risk and surface blind spots that traditional meetings rarely surface.

The Machinista I/O Approach

—

Our approach is grounded in decades of experience in high-stakes environments, validated by training from MIT and Wharton,
and utilized by global leaders.

The Problem Isn't Technology It's Misalignment

Leadership teams launch AI initiatives every day — and many stall or fail, not because of technology, but because teams are misaligned on priorities, risks, and decisions. When thinking diverges, collaboration breaks down. When collaboration breaks down, execution fails. This is the problem Machinista I/O is built to solve.

Strategic Alignment through Coherence

We help executives and teams move from fragmented opinions and AI anxiety to clear, aligned decisions — what to pursue, what to pause, and what to avoid. Our approach combines: human-centered strategic facilitation, applied AI foresight (MIT-certified), and decades of experience supporting high-stakes decisions in complex organizations.
The result: shared understanding, reduced risk, and decisions teams can actually execute.

3D Strategic Modeling

We replace abstract debate with tangible strategy modeling. Through structured, hands-on sessions, teams: surface hidden assumptions, align around shared priorities, simulate strategic choices, and leave with clear ownership and next steps
This process creates coherence faster than discussion-based meetings and enables decisions that stick.

Why Machinista I/O?

Our work is informed by over 20 years in high-stakes environments, training from MIT, Wharton, IDEO, Hyper Island, and AJ&Smart, and experience supporting global media and technology organizations. But more importantly, it’s trusted because it works — when the cost of misalignment is too high to ignore.

Strategic Decision Sessions

—

We design intentional, hands-on workshops that move teams from complexity and friction to decisive strategic flow.

A hands-on strategy session for leadership teams who need to make aligned, high-stakes decisions under uncertainty.
Using structured 3D strategy modeling (LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®), teams replace abstract debate with tangible simulation to surface hidden assumptions,
stress-test organizational strategy, and align quickly on priorities and ownership. Teams leave with clear agreements, a shared strategic map, and decisions they can execute immediately.

Machinista.Lab utilizes high-fidelity, tangible strategy methodology powered by the internationally certified LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, a rigorous, high-stakes process trusted by defense agencies and leading technology firms globally, to force collective clarity under pressure. Going beyond abstract debate, we use physical modeling to stress-test strategy, visualize systemic tensions (AI, team, cultural), and rapidly achieve systemic alignment.

Perfect for real-time change implementation, systemic decision-making, and delivering the ultimate strategic clarity that your entire team owns immediately.

A focused 1:1 strategy session for founders and senior leaders who need clarity before involving the wider organization.

Using visual and 3D strategy tools, we isolate the core decision blocking progress and define a clean path forward.

Mind.Lab is perfect when: you’re navigating decisions alone, you need clarity before aligning a team, you’re stuck between multiple strategic directions.

You leave with a clear decision frame and next steps without distraction.

Structured strategy sessions for teams facing growth, complexity, or misalignment.

We help teams: map real friction points, align around shared priorities, and 
make explicit commitments. Each session ends with decisions, ownership, and a shared understanding, not just ideas.

Ideal for startups, cross-functional teams, and organizations navigating change.

Which Session Is Right for You?

Mind.Lab → Individual clarity before team alignment
Machinista.Lab → Leadership team alignment & strategy
Co.Labs → Broader team execution and cohesion

The Core Belief

Technology doesn't break teams. Misalignment does.

For over two decades, Adriana Lodolo has worked in high-pressure environments at organizations such as Netflix, HBO, Univision, and Fox — supporting leaders as they navigate complex, high-stakes decisions.

Across these contexts, one lesson became clear: the hardest part of adopting AI or new systems isn’t the technology itself, but building the internal alignment and trust required to act decisively when hesitation is costly.

The Perspective

Rooted in People. Designed for Systems.

Adriana is an AI and change strategist who combines systems thinking, facilitation rigor, and strategic design.

Her work goes beyond discussion-based meetings and surface-level workshops. Using advanced 3D strategic modeling and human-centered facilitation, she helps leaders move past ambiguity and inaction — translating complexity into shared understanding, clear roadmaps, and decisions teams can execute.

Machinista I/O is the synthesis of this experience.
