Business Strategy & Alignment

1. Does your company have a lofty vision for the future?



2. A strategic plan that maps out how to achieve it?



3. Are your annual goals tied to the strategic plan?



4. Is your annual financial plan tied to both? 



5. Are your annual goals cascaded throughout the organization? Down to the individual employee level?



6. Does the executive team use a balanced scorecard to measure and predict the success of the business?



7. Are people held accountable for achieving their individual, team, and divisional goals?
