The State of play with Strategic Alignment
Seemingly after 20 plus years, the means to achieve alignment has not been widely achieved, although Kaplan and Norton’s Balanced Scorecord was introduced in 1992 to advance Strategic Alignment. The Balance scorecard institute considers it the technique to achieve strategic alignment to avoid the consequences of misalignment i.e. failure and lack of competitiveness. However, companies have not benefited from the awareness of Strategic Alignment, as the means to achieve the intended results, as the means to survive and thrive.
Evidence of Misalignment Across All industries
Evidence of company failure is found in the US Bureau of Labor Statistics Data,. According to Dr Heracleous failure is caused by Strategic Misalignment. Following the failure trend graphs, all industry failures follow the same curve shape. There are no industrial sector exceptions. The curve remains the same whether it is ten years after start up or 27 years. If even, the case of misalignment is not valid, it is incumbent that companies eliminate strategic alignment as a cause of failure, by ensuring that they remain a state of alignment throughout their life cycle, so that any other cause, is revealed.
Where is your company situated on the graph?
Do you want to know how to prevent its misalignment?
The Case for ISO Integrated Management System Standards as a Roadmap for Strategic Alignment
The general lack of training on Strategic Alignment mechanics as evidenced by the video. Our online course provides the training.
Balance Scorecard and Baldridge Excellence Framework does not identify a verification threshold to determine whether the Strategic Alignment status is achieved and verified. ISO does!
ISO Management System Standards in 9.3 at Management Review (Check) requires Alignment to demonstrate the status of the company’s Strategic Alignment
The company failure graph for manufacturing companies follows the same trend as non-manufacturing companies – evidence that company failure is based on the Operational focus without consideration for Strategic Alignment.
The ISO Management System is configurable (www.strategic-alignment- configurator) to a verification threshold to establish the status of a company’s Strategic Alignment based on the selection of an appropriate option.
Balance Scorecard, Baldridge Excellence Framework and Current ISO Management System practices were not effective or significant enough to reduce the failure incidence of companies – the graph has not spiked to demonstrate that outcomes from their present application format prevented failure; hence a new paradigm is offered.
The current practice re ISO Management Systems implementation, internal and surveillance audits focus on the Operations; generally no attention is paid to strategic alignment or the requirement for change in strategic direction.

Planning for Strategic Alignment
The causes of strategic misalignment pointed out by Dr. Heracleous are addressed within the ISO Management System Standards. it is clear that training and knowledge is required to attain the techniques for Strategic Alignment.
The configurator is a practical tool to deliver strategic alignment
In the final analysis – companies fail because managers are not trained on how to accomplish Strategic Alignment or are not provided with the tools to do so. However, there is evidence from the Researchgate survey, which informs that those companies which gain strategic alignment perform better than those without strategic alignment.
Stakeholders learn how to accomplish strategic alignment through an ISO Management System format and a SaaS Management Configurator, which allows users to determine their best options for Strategic Alignment.
