Symptoms of a Foggy Outlook:

Your organizational vision and strategy isn’t clear or isn’t aligned with people, processes and structure.

Organizations in which employees are primarily motivated by shared values and a commitment to mission and purpose are 9X more likely to have high customer satisfaction.

A clear purpose and strategy can unify an organization, enabling individuals and teams see how their efforts contribute to a larger success. They find meaning in their work. They engage. They create. They innovate. They perform. They achieve.

 

Often vision and strategy become foggy because there are so many attractive possibilities – it’s difficult to choose between good paths and the organization gets pulled in different directions. Or, strategy can sometimes get stale, especially in our rapidly-changing world. Even when vision and strategy are focused, we often see that the organization isn’t properly aligned to deliver. Without intentional, ongoing effort, people, process, structure and resources become tangled.
