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.
