Operational Alignment & Execution
When work becomes complex, misalignment slows execution and strains teams.
Operational alignment creates clarity, connection, and flow so work moves forward and results stick.
Facilitating the PMI-CTT’s Leadership Team’s annual strategic planning session
A structured approach when deeper alignment is needed.
For organizations facing persistent or systemic misalignment, a structured approach helps clarity and momentum take hold.
Authentify Alignment Journey™
A structured roadmap that guides organizations from misalignment to clarity, focus, and measurable impact.
Organizations typically enter the journey at Phase 1: Assess, then progress through Align and Advance as part of a continuous improvement cycle grounded in the Toyota Kaizen PDCA approach.
PHASE 1: ASSESS
Diagnose the current state and clarify the path forward.
Organizations gain clarity on where they stand, what alignment means for them, and where gaps and opportunities exist to authentify alignment.
Assess
Aspire
Analyze
PHASE 2: ALIGN
Translate insight into aligned focus and coordinated action.
Teams build connection and commitment by articulating vision, activating engagement, and anchoring new routines that sustain and authentify alignment.
Align
Act
Accelerate
PHASE 3: ADVANCE
Sustain momentum, adapt with intention, and amplify success.
Alignment matures as teams strengthen what works, adapt to change, and expand and authentify alignment practices across the organization.
Audit
Adjust
Advance
Alignment becomes sustainable when embedded in how teams communicate, meet, and work.
What “Authentify™” Means
”Authentify” means making authenticity actionable in how teams think, communicate, and operate, so alignment becomes a consistent practice rather than a one-time effort.
When teams align, organizations thrive, and performance follows.
70% of employees report that understanding company goals boosts productivity by 63%.
Empowered teams achieve 23% higher profitability.
Strategic alignment drives 30% higher productivity and 40% higher retention.
