Strategic Alignment

Strategic Alignment

What it means: Strategic alignment means that employees see how their work relates to the overall mission and purpose of the organization and that groups work well together to achieve common goals.

When it's a strength

  • Awareness of mission guides decision making and judgment. A clear sense of what matters most helps employees and leaders determine the best path for the organization and helps them set priorities. This clarity inspires conviction and dedication.
  • Groups bust silos to accomplish common goals

If it’s a weakness:

  • There is an absence of passion or emotional connection to work
  • Employees don’t see how their work connects to the overall mission and purpose of the organization
  • Employees don’t understand what the organization does and how it’s different than other levels of government
