"Make HOW Matter: The Seven Signs of Misalignment as You Build a Meaningful Culture"

---

Alignment is often the hidden differentiator in building a culture that delivers on your strategic goals and ambitions, especially during times of AI / digital change and organizational transformation. Misaligned leaders, however, are a leading cause of stalled initiatives, underwhelming customer experiences, low employee engagement, and missed growth targets. Misalignment frequently stays under the radar by allowing leaders to focus on operational activity and ‘business as usual’ metrics while strategic risks grow. We will explore how misalignment shows up on your leadership team, how it impacts your transformation efforts, and how to spot the early warning signs before they become costly. In this workshop, you will participate in a practical exercise to surface the loudest signals of misalignment in your organization and create a visual assessment of your current degree of alignment around strategic priorities.

​

Participants will leave ready to use the 7 Signs of Misalignment Team Assessment tool:

1. A clear definition of alignment and why it is critical to leadership and organizational transformation

2. A set of common signals of misalignment and how they tangibly show up in your team or organization

3. Simple, repeatable tools to proactively address misalignment with your team or organization
