The Executive Alignment Index™

A research project building a clearer understanding of how alignment at the top shapes outcomes across organisations — grounded in a decade of work with executive and senior leadership teams.

What we're exploring

The gap between how teams believe they operate, and how they actually do.

Across organisations there is often a gap between how leadership teams think they work together and how they work in practice. This gap rarely presents itself directly — it shows up in subtle, consequential ways. Over time, the impact compounds: performance slows, friction increases, and often good people choose to leave.

  • Strategic priorities begin to compete rather than align
  • Decisions are revisited, reworked or not fully owned
  • Accountability becomes blurred across functions
  • Psychological safety weakens
  • Conversations narrow rather than engage the whole team
  • The organisation becomes reactive rather than intentional
