The interplay of building culture, fostering high employee engagement, and focusing on performance management (namely vision, strategy, objectives, alignment and execution), is in essence an ecosystem that must be focused on as a whole in order to ultimately achieve high performance.
However, the typical protocol lacks a critical element essential for gaining and sustaining alignment and effective execution.
To demonstrate the alignment speed, the execution time required in performing one image alignment task is discussed.
The behavioral science of decision making reveals the patterns for success: open up creative thinking to expand what's possible, and lock down pragmatic thinking to drive alignment and rapid execution.
Motivation: The explosive growth of next-generation sequencing datasets poses a challenge to the mapping of reads to reference genomes in terms of alignment quality and execution speed.
In the managers' minds, execution equals alignment, so a failure to execute implies a breakdown in the processes to link strategy to action at every level in the organization.
(1) Execution equals alignment.
Even though, as we've seen, managers typically equate execution with alignment, they do recognize the importance of coordination when questioned about it directly.
Organisations must constantly ask themselves whether their customers will understand why they are taking a particular action, whether decisions are building or compromising consumer goodwill, and if there is alignment between their intention, execution and delivery.
In particular, the paper investigates VES design in terms of strategic alignment, process configuration and execution, as well as corresponding benefits and costs, exploring how the combination of the previous elements determines company satisfaction.
"The company has achieved a strong balance sheet, disciplined program execution, close alignment with customer interests, leadership in global defense markets".
