Lack of Alignment Costs Dollars and Careers
A number of studies have shown that as much as 30% of all IT investment dollars are wasted to some degree due to a lack of "alignment" among the particpants. We believe the same holds true up and down the organization. Any project or group effort that requires more than 1 human being is going to need to be sure eveyone understands the mission and the goals--and is "bought in" to the process.
The literature suggests that positive alignment means success and poor alignment predicts failure.
Most of measurements of alignment are "soft" or "qualitative." We've found one that is QUANTITATIVE and seems to successfully predict the likelihood of success of a project/task/venture/strategy. Give us a call and we'll tell you more.
