Strategy
Are we aligned on strategy?
Despite feeling that there was strong agreement on strategic direction, a CEO and President were surprised when their perspectives and those of the executive team differed on strategic priorities during project launch interviews. Use of a custom CSF Strategic Alignment Snapshot™ enabled them to identify and then explore these differences.
A comparison of CEO and President responses to the rest of the executive team illustrated how lack of clarity in two areas was impacting alignment at the vice president level. With this information, the CEO and President together undertook a strategy clarification process that engaged the vice presidents in working through their assumptions and beliefs. This step prepared the way for identifying the future-state culture required to deliver strategy and goals and consequently allocating resources to priority areas for development.
