The 4 Key Ingredients Of Great Organizations
In this environment, companies need to evolve into what I call an Aligned Enterprise which I’ve defined as:
An organization that acts cohesively and embraces change in its environment

- Purposeful leadership. Establishing and maintaining a clear and compelling vision for where the organization is heading and why it’s going in that direction.
- Adaptive design. Infusing the realities of the marketplace (customers, suppliers, technology change, etc.) into the creation and evolution of products, services, and processes.
- Customer-responsiveness. Increasing the magnitude and speed with which an organization learns from, and responds to, customer feedback.
- Employee engagement. Building strong commitment from employees through alignment of hiring, on-boarding, training, coaching, communications, and incentive programs.
