Integrated
Alignment
Integrated
Alignment refers to the integration of essential systems
and processes that respond to change in the external
environment. It’s focus is on the customer and
is market driven. However, no organization can stay in
a state of alignment forever since almost all organizations
live in the state of change. The change can be constant
or it can come in waves. We at The Quantum Group believe
that the real power of alignment comes when we view it
as a set of actions. These actions represent the new
management competence of Strategic Listening, Thinking,
Planning, Communicating and Learning.
This
enables managers along with everyone within the
organization
to:
1. Connect
all employees' behavior to the vision of the organization
and turn their intentions into actions.
2. Link
team and processes to the changing needs
of the customers.
3. Shape
business/organization strategy
with real-time information
from its customers.
4. Create
a culture in which these
elements all work together
seamlessly.
5. Allow
the organization
to run
itself
with
an "Open
Book".
The
major components of Integrated Alignment
The
organization:
1.Carefully
designs and articulates the essence of their business
using the past, present and future.
2. Defines
the critical strategic goals and imperatives and deploys
them throughout the organization.
3. Ties
performance measures and metrics to those goals.
