However, many organizations focus only on challenges existing in the external business environment during strategic planning process, despite the key reason many of them fail is their inability to tackle the internal issues. Organizations that are not strategically aligned often are struggled about their business priorities and focus areas, make ineffective decisions, and face critical conflicts. This may leave middle management and employees unmotivated, feel disappointed and reflect badly on their performance. Unfortunately, alignment between doesn't come naturally, it needs planning, hard work and communication. In order to achieve positive strategic alignment, an organization must address both internal and external obstacles effectively. Organizations that are well-aligned are able to generate better results and high level of performance because their people and teams are working towards achieving common strategic goals. Strategic alignment can close the gap between the strategy and execution and create high-performance cultures. It reflects the degree of alignment which exists between all strategy elements.
