Leadership & Teamwork Make the Dream Work!

Senior Team Alignment Process

It is the Senior Executive Team that provides direction and leadership for the entire organization.

It is the Senior Team that creates the overall culture in the organization. The climate that determines how people feel about working for your organization and how people feel about working for your organization has a major impact on their level of engagement, the degree to which they trust management, and ultimately on your customer satisfaction, ability to retain talent, productivity and profitability.

It is vital then, that the Senior Team is absolutely clear, and in full agreement with your organization's Purpose, Values and Vision, and what kind of culture you need to achieve that Vision.

In a nutshell, the primary responsibility of the Senior Team is to create the conditions for success, to create a work environment where all employees can perform at their best, and willingly be accountable for their results.

Unfortunately, many Senior Teams do not understand that culture is their responsibility. We know that because so many organizations have a culture that results in disengaged employees who lack trust in their management and who avoid being personally responsible.

According to research by The Gallup Organization, over 70% of the American workforce is Not-Engaged or Actively Disengaged. They come to work turned off, or actively working against their organization.

Integro's Senior Team Alignment Process addresses this critical need by providing senior teams with a process for agreeing on and implementing a plan for creating an organizational culture that will deliver the optimum business results.

We use a measurement tool to identify the degree to which the team is in alignment prior to beginning the process... the Team Alignment Questionnaire (TAQ). This tool measures the degree to which team members are clear on, and in agreement with the organization's Purpose, Values and Vision.

The Team Alignment Questionnaire gives a benchmark of where the team is, so we know what needs to be worked on... what needs to be clearer, and where we need to get agreement so the team can commit to creating a High Performance Culture.
