• The Power of Alignment
  What is Rapid Realignment? The ability to rapidly realign is a critical competency that enables you to integrate strategy, people, customers and key processes. Aligned organizations enjoy greater customer and employee satisfaction, and produce superior results to stakeholders. Aligned companies focus people and their work on key goals. They de-emphasize hierarchy, and distribute leadership by distributing authority, information, knowledge, and customer data. In an aligned organization, every employee—from the executive suite to the loading dock—understands the strategy and goals of the business; and everyone knows how his or her work contributes to them. In today's complex, changing world, alignment must be achieved rapidly.
