Using the One Page Business Plan to Build Aligned Engagement January 14, 2010

A recent study by Performance Connections International revealed that "One out of three employees are engaged...in priorities that are different from and potentially in conflict with the direction of the business." The professionals interviewed unanimously agreed that employees could be engaged in activities not aligned with company goals or priorities.

If "aligned engagement" is what's missing, how can we connect people to corporate strategy and ensure they are not simply absorbed in projects that are disconnected from the direction and results required by the company? One tool, the One Page Business Plan, can bring everyone in the company into sync with corporate goals while at the same time catalyzing the employee engagement every company sorely needs.
