Strategic Alignment - "The Work Itself"

One of the biggest problems organizations face today is a lack of real work connected with key organizational strategies and priorities. Research indicates that most employees struggle to drive organizational strategies and that, oftentimes, little or no relationship exists between the work that people do and the organization's goals. The result - more and more organizations are getting mired in "fake work." Through partnerships with respected authors and organizational experts Brent Peterson and Gaylan Nielson, Sinclair Advisory Group offers an innovative product called "The Work Itself." It is a clear and simple process that can help employees identify and complete tasks that will directly impact their organization's key strategies. It can revolutionize your organization's ability to get real work accomplished and drive real results. The Work Itself:

• Clarifies what an organization wants to do in the form of strategies and goals
• Identifies critical work tasks for each team and employee
• Builds strategic conversations that promote team understanding and alignment
• Creates realistic work plans and helps employees commit to them
• Establishes accountability through follow-up, reinforcement, and coaching

How It Works
