How Alignment Affects Your Organization

High-performing groups, teams, departments or subsets of an organization are deliberate about addressing their own alignment – both within the group/team as well as their alignment with the larger organization. All of the elements shown in the triangle below should be in support of, or “aligned”, with the Mission/Purpose and Vision.

The Delphi Group has assisted many teams and groups in addressing these critical elements.  When facilitating this work it is important to engage the entire team in this process.  Our very specific approach addresses the following:

Mission or Purpose

• Who we are
• What we do
• For whom we do it
• Why we do it

Vision

• Future Direction
• Where we’re going
• What we intend to become and accomplish

Goals

• The ‘work’, results
• Milestones & priorities
• Metrics – measures
• Specific, time-bound, accountable

Roles

• Where leadership resides
• How is work divided up
• Individual responsibilities, accountability, authority
• Roles across interfaces

Practices

• How do we ‘operate’
• How is work organized
• Norms
• Infrastructures
• Decision-making

Relationships

• How we work together and across interfaces
• Expectations of one another
• How will we mutually support one another
