Organisational Alignment
4 Steps to Achieve Strategic Alignment
- Understand the business’ mission, vision, strategy and goals.
- Determine where and how learning will impact the achievement of business goals.
- Document the learning and development plan.
- Validate the alignment of the learning and development plan with the business plan.
A simple flow for thinking about organisational alignment:
- Align the employee with the role. There’s nothing worse than having the right person in the wrong role.
- Align employee roles within the team.
- Align the team with other teams.
Research also shows that companies with aligned marketing and sales teams experience an average of 20% growth in annual revenue. Another report shared by Cerius Executives shows that aligned companies are 38% better at closing proposals and churn 36% fewer customers each year.
