For project teams and whole businesses
Most work goes wrong because people quietly disagree about it.
Alignment Charter asks everyone involved the same eight questions — separately, in their own words. It then puts the answers side by side, so the gaps between departments, executives and teams are visible before they turn into rework, missed deadlines and frustration.
What you get out of it
Better collaboration
People stop guessing what the others expect of them, because it's written down and shared.
Understanding across departments
Each team sees how its work looks from the next desk over, including the parts that worry them.
Fewer expensive surprises
Disagreements about goals, ownership and decisions surface in week one, not week twelve.
How it works
- 1
Write the brief
Set up a project with its teams, or a business with its vision, mission, priorities, executives and the managers under them.
- 2
Everyone answers privately
Each person gets their own link and answers the same eight questions in a few minutes.
- 3
Compare and talk
The grid and the business dashboard show the answers side by side, and you export or print them for the conversation.
The eight questions
- Goals
- Challenges
- Fears
- Values
- Expectations
- Measures of success
- Accountability
- Decisions
And it keeps going
Every cycle runs through three short steps — Pulse, Prep and Ratify — so the charter gets amended as the work changes instead of going stale in a folder.
