Organizational success depends on strategic alignment across the organization.

Your strategy has to escape your senior leadership team and permeate the entire organization. It’s not enough to rely on leaders to embed the strategy within their teams. Employees across your organization want to know what is going on and not just within their department. Where is the business headed and how can they contribute to your future? Keep them up to speed and request ongoing feedback. You may be surprised to find that many of them will begin to act like owners and have an outsized impact on the organization.

Understanding the modern knowledge worker.

Modern knowledge workers thrive within organizations that maximize their productive time. TPS reports anyone? According to a McKinsey report, employees spend 1.8 hours every day—9.3 hours per week, on average—searching and gathering information. It is unproductive and uninspiring. Retain your best people by increasing their access to important information. Don’t rely on the trickle-down effect. It will never get there.

Connective tools and technology.

Embracing transparency and cross-team collaboration will greatly enhance performance. Today, through emerging technology, you can share project work and insights across the organization. This will reduce redundancy and greatly enhance productivity and the quality of the output. Embrace technology to break down your silos and facilitate collaboration across disparate teams to increase the value of your organization.
