Strategic Alignment tackles the issue of successful organisational development as it should be - head on. Most medium to large businesses and organisations spend significant amounts of time and money strategising for the future - but much of this is wasted because the key managers fail to see how their businesses are really positioned in their operating environments. Dr Chorn uses organisational archetypes - the pragmatic, the administrative, the divergent and the intergrative (PADI) - to show how developmental pathways can be created to achieve winning goals. The book provides a practical way to navigate the choppy waters of strategic planning by aligning the organisational reason for being with the external moment of truth.
