Organizational Alignment
The new managerial competency
Point of View
Change Management
The ability to create organizational alignment is one of
the most sought-after characteristics of executives today.
How good are you at spotting misalignment in your own organization and what can you do about it?
Nine Symptoms of a Misaligned Organization
-
Too much of we vs them
-
Employees show little knowledge of how company's strategic vision is going to be accomplished
-
Planning for change ends after new organizational chart is created
-
Departments work in isolation
-
Department rewards and performance measures are at odds with each other
-
No mechanism for ensuring values are being lived up to
-
No clearly defined inter-departmental workflows
-
Creating 'extra organizational' units to get work done instead of leveraging existing organizational units
-
Employees believe that senior leadership has gone 'back on it's word'
So, you recognize some of these misalignments in your company, but what can you do about it?
Based on first-hand experience with many technology
deployments, Anton Consulting recognizes that organizational change is less about how enabling technologies changes the
actual work at hand, and more about how organizational momentum is inspired – not forced – around a common vision. Anton believes that the factors listed below are critical in generating the momentum and the “organizational energy” needed to create change that extends beyond one leader or one department.
A No-Nonsense Approach to Organizational Alignment
Working With What You've Got
Recently, some colleagues and I were discussing downsizing
and Mark, the more boisterous one of our group declared, “Hey, I actually wound up in business school getting my MBA because of downsizing”. Laughter from the group ensued and then he said, “But I wasn’t fired, I just quit.” He went on to talk about his company where he had survived three rounds of lay-offs and happened to be earmarked as a future leader.

Careers
Project Consultant
Anton Consulting has an immediate contract opportunity for an experienced consulting professional. The client is a global leader in the software industry and the focus of the engagement is helping this client optimize how data can be used to improve marketing operations.
This person will join an existing engagement and be responsible for developing and managing an emerging project work stream related to marketing data quality. While an understanding of data quality is important, critical success factors for the job include: getting agreement from stakeholders with conflicting priorities; synthesizing ambiguous ideas into clear action steps; outstanding written and phone communication skills; and ensuring the project moves toward deliverables on budget and on time. The successful candidate will have a strong strategic marketing background with proven ability to troubleshoot on unforeseen issues and to create and manage a project plan. We need a team member who is proactive, can work independently and is comfortable communicating with stakeholders at all levels in an organization.
The project is full-time with a initial duration of 2.5 mos with the possibility of extension. Project location is flexible as the role is remote and there are no travel expectations.
Desired Qualifications
• Consulting background ideally with experience at a 'Big-4' consulting firm.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills. As most of the work is done remotely, candidate must be able to communicate effectively and articulately via phone.
• Must be able to synthesize disparate ideas into action plans that clearly support strategic marketing objectives.
• Strong project management skills with a keen ability to structure the approach, manage details and move activities to completion
• Strong powerpoint skills, specifically being able to crisply and accurately convey critical project information in presentation form
• MBA strongly preferred
• CRM or marketing operations experience preferred
• Data quality and data management experience preferred
