Never ending alignment
The organizational goals, strategic objectives, and strategic direction has got to change. Again.
These are the times that we live in. Long gone are the days that a steady (or steadier) external environment enabled more paced, methodical business planning. These days what was once in perfect alignment is now misaligned.
External pressures.
Internal challenges.
External opportunities.
Internal drivers.
The name of the game nowadays is quickly determining when you're misaligned, and making adjustments. Quick.
And there's nothing worse than your employees, their capabilities, and their behaviors, being out of line with organizational goals.
Make sure everyone's dancing to the same music.
