How to solve the alignment problem and align the organization, outsourced processes, systems, intangible assets, and the strategy with the business

Why have we never solved the alignment problem?

We keep hearing about problems aligning strategy with operations, information systems with the business, the organization with operations, customer needs with product and service development, outsourced services with internal operations, tangible assets and intangible assets, etc. How many books have written and methods proposed for solving the alignment problem? Despite all these books and methods, the alignment problem remains.

Alignment solutions are contrived rules or guidelines to alleviate the symptoms of misalignment rather than something to align against that is fixed and related to solutions.

Result-performance Management (R-pM) eliminates the alignment problem

Result-performance Management eliminates the alignment problem by organizing and managing the business. R-pM manages the results produced by performance solutions, so that all solutions are aligned with results. Solutions utilized to produce the same results are automatically aligned.

Conventional methods align performance solutions with performance solutions

The alignment problem will never be solved as long as we keep trying to align performance with performance and solutions with solutions. We need something that is fixed in place to align strategies, solutions, operations, outsourced services, tangible and tangible assets, information systems, etc. against. Once all of these solutions are aligned against something fixed in place then they are aligned with each other.

The thing that we must fix in place is the structured results of performance. Our organization, strategy, business, information systems, customer relationships, outsourced services, tangible and intangible assets, product development, and internal operations all produce results. We can solve the alignment problem by defining and structuring our results to have something fixed in place against which to align solutions.
