Aligning the Organization Around Priorities

Over 86% of employees say they don’t understand their organization’s strategy while more than 90% of managers feel they have not successfully executed on the company’s business strategy. Yet, over 75% of organizations claim to have an agreed-upon core business strategy. What is going wrong? Data points to strong organizational and team alignment being the challenge¹. Gaining alignment on the top priorities is hard because each individual weighs the inputs differently when prioritizing.  The Opportunity Radar helps generate alignment by making the prioritization process visible.
