It is the cornerstone of maximization of goal attainment & a leading driver of organizational success & progress. It’s criticality is only highlighted by the fact, that, we, at The Brew regard it as one of key critical ingredient (of the overall 6 elaborated in The Brew’s Science of Building High Performance Organization) to building of high performance organization.
Based on organizational alignment research, highly aligned organizations have the following attributes, vis a vis the less aligned ones:
- Grow revenue 58% faster
- Are 72% more profitable
- Satisfy customers 3.2-to-1
- Engage employees 16.8-to-1
And hence, the importance of organizational alignment, can’t be understated – one of the key reasons being, most of the strategic organizational goals & metrics are driven by cross functional impact – multiple internal stakeholders & functions having a role to play in its realization, while seeing through the competing goals that realize moving the needle favorably of these strategic goals. Which is why, the importance of organizational alignment becomes so imperative – cos through alignment, the inter-dependencies, the multiplier effects over the value chain & the optimization of organizational resources to get orchestrated, enabling the realization of strategic goals.
