Do You Have the High Performance Culture Required to Drive Your Strategy?



Once your business direction is clear and compelling, it is your job as a leader to understand, shape, and align your corporate culture to drive key strategic initiatives.

As senior executives will attest, this is no easy task. While most agree that a sound strategic plan is imperative, few agree on what to do next. In fact, research shows that less than ten percent of even the well crafted strategies are effectively executed.

For most fast growing and evolving companies, we know that the biggest obstacles to success have little to do with designing a winning strategy. When you look under the hood of many organizations (even ones that have a solid strategic plan), you find that they are not firing on all cylinders.

They are not performing at their peak. And their leaders have not created the high performance environment necessary to get sustainable results now or in the future.

A recent Harvard Business School research report described how an effective culture can account for up to half of the differential in performance between organizations in the same business. This should be a powerful motivator for all leaders.

Alignment is the Key to Getting Where You Want to Go


You have a solid strategy. A promising future. Now, how do you get where you want to go?

If you believe that you are headed in the right direction, but your current performance is not where you want it to be, think alignment.


Organizational alignment means configuring the key elements of your company to optimize performance. Based upon over twenty years of research, we believe that when your strategy, culture and talent are misaligned, your organization is at best under-performing and at worst set up for major problems.

Do not get fooled into making isolated strategy, culture or talent moves that do not lead your company dramatically forward. Neither talent, nor culture, nor strategy alone will produce the results you want. Alignment is the missing ingredient.
