Sustained alignment requires more than plans, it needs rituals, systems, and behaviours. This step puts in place the operating rhythms and cultural norms that keep your teams coordinated as you scale.
Implement Performance Management (KPIs, OKRs)
Establish a performance system that links strategy to execution. Use KPIs to monitor core health and OKRs to drive change and focus. Assign ownership, create visibility, and establish a regular cadence of review and learning.
Design a structured flow of communication across levels: daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly. Combine async tools and live moments to reduce chaos, increase transparency, and reinforce shared priorities and wins.
Ensure that your leadership team operates with clarity and unity. Misalignment at the top cascades down. Create shared operating principles and regular alignment checks so leaders model the collaboration you expect elsewhere.
Org design should evolve with strategy. As you grow, revisit how teams are structured, what roles exist, and how accountability flows. Update reporting lines and responsibilities to support execution.
