Unlock Strategic Achievements: The cost of internal misalignment is too high

Strategy can be derailed when different parts of an organisation are working in an uncoordinated and fragmented way. Getting everyone on the same page is challenging. ‘Create An Aligned Organisation’ provides a practical proven approach to building alignment and resilience across a business. Immediate needs are met and long-term sustainability achieved.

The Problem

Is your organisation stuck in a cycle of ‘getting by’?

Internal misalignment is a silent but significant strategic liability. It drains momentum, fragments your efforts, and forces leaders to concentrate on operational firefighting rather than strategic direction. The result is a business unable to act with speed and agility, leaving it vulnerable to disruption.

What is Create An Aligned Organisation all about?

Stop just getting by. Start thriving. Our ‘Create An Aligned Organisation’ programme is the proven toolkit for leaders and facilitators ready to build a resilient, cohesive business. Built on the powerful Kennedy Alignment Model, it provides a comprehensive, cost-effective toolkit of concepts and practical insights you can apply directly within your own business. The outcome? An organisation able to respond with confidence and agility to any changing environment.

Building on the Critical Success Factors, the model aligns all aspects of the business to achieve a clear, consistent and outcome oriented mindset throughout the organisation. This will secure your long-term strategy and objectives efficiently and cost-effectively.
