Jim Collins on Alignment

In Alignment on July 21, 2009 at 9:01 am

“There is a big difference between being an organization with a vision statement and becoming a truly visionary organization. The difference lies in creating alignment – alignment to preserve an organization’s core values, to reinforce its purpose, and to stimulate continued progress towards its aspirations.”  — Jim Collins

Whether your company has 2 people or 200,000, aligning them into a high-performance organization is essential to success. A high-performance organization where:

> Every employee is committed to the mission, whatever it takes.  No laggards.

> Every employee lives the organization’s values.  No backstabbers.

> Every employee is completely bought-in to the organization’s strategy.  No under-miners.

> Every process is intentionally designed to execute the plan.  No time-wasters.

To achieve these results, high-performance organizations apply One Discipline – the discipline of alignment. This discipline brings every person and organizational process – their structure, budget, reward system, customer experience … everything – into alignment.
