So what could you do if you wanted to increase strategic alignment in your organization? The first step: assess the degree of strategic alignment that currently exists. This is surprisingly straight-forward. Strategic alignment can only be present under the following conditions:
- Clear, compelling vision, values, and strategies exist
- They are understood and committed to throughout the organization
- They are translated into aligned business, function, team, and individual goals and actions
- People are equipped with the capabilities needed to achieve the vision, live the values, and successfully execute the strategies
- Key systems and process are aligned (e.g.- rewards and recognition)
