Organizational Alignment is the proven foundation for building an overall strategic
execution framework. Examining top-down, bottom-up, and core planning and
execution processes within an organization, this book deals with the problem of
execution in a practical way. The text explores the fundamental reasons for the disconnection
between knowledge and action and supplies readily applicable solutions
for immediate deployment within the organization. It helps leaders to assess
the effectiveness of an organization's management system capability by determining
clarity of mission, goals, metrics, structure, strategy, culture, priorities, roles, responsibilities and communication
systems.
