Achieving alignment is not without its challenges. Some common obstacles include:
1. Resistance to Change: Employees may resist new strategies or changes in direction, making alignment difficult. 2. Miscommunication: Poor communication can lead to misunderstandings and confusion about priorities and objectives. 3. Silo Mentality: Departments working in isolation can create barriers to alignment, as they may have conflicting goals or priorities. 4. Resource Constraints: Limited resources can make it challenging to align efforts with strategic priorities, especially in smaller organizations.
