Strategic Alignment Engine
Strategic Alignment Engine cascades company strategy from the boardroom to individual contributors, detecting and fixing misalignment between company goals and team execution. It covers strategy articulation, cascade mapping, orphan goal detection, silo identification, communication gap analysis, and realignment protocols, producing an alignment score and actionable insights.
✨ What it does
- Runs a strategy articulation test to check if five people from different teams can state the top priority consistently.
- Maps goal cascade from company to individual levels to identify orphan goals, conflicting goals, and coverage gaps.
- Detects silos via signals like local metric optimization and lack of cross-team coordination.
- Analyzes communication gaps using a message decay model and gap sources.
- Provides a realignment protocol with workshop-based re-cascading and incentive fixes.
- Scores alignment across five areas (clarity, cascade, conflict, coverage, communication) out of 50.
🎯 When to use it
- When teams are pulling in different directions or OKRs don't connect to company goals.
- When departments optimize locally at the expense of company-wide outcomes.
- When users mention alignment, strategy cascade, silos, conflicting OKRs, or strategy communication.
- When company OKRs are consistently missed or cross-functional projects stall.
🚀 How to use
Trigger by asking for strategic alignment analysis or mentioning alignment issues. Provide OKR data in JSON format for automated checking, or answer diagnostic questions. Example prompts:
Check our OKR alignment for orphans and conflicts.
Help us fix silos between sales and customer success.
📄 Output: An alignment score and a report with detected issues and recommended fixes.

❓ FAQ
What is an orphan goal?
An orphan goal is a team or individual goal that doesn't connect to any company goal, often set bottom-up without reconciling to current company OKRs.
How do I fix conflicting goals between teams?
Conduct a cross-functional OKR review before the quarter begins and use shared metrics where teams interact.
What does the alignment score indicate?
The score (out of 50) rates alignment health: 45-50 excellent, 35-44 good, 20-34 misalignment costing you, below 20 strategic drift crisis.
