Strategic alignment is key to elevating organizational performance. It is essential if a company is to achieve its mission and goals.

Strategic alignment:

  • Provides clarity of direction, agreement on the firm's mission, vision, values, unique market position, strategic direction, and overall goals
  • Brings into harmony three distinct entities: strategy, culture, and processes
  • Varies over time because it is a dynamic process, thus requiring periodic assessments measuring gaps between targets and results and accounting for shortfalls
