As usual, we were discussing how complex modern workplaces are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We started talking about a certain phenomenon that most of you have likely noticed \u2013 how bombarded we seem to be by opinions.  Switch on the TV, and quite likely you&#8217;ll see the news. If it&#8217;s not the news, it&#8217;s probably a talk show or even a sports match with commentary. All opinions, often with very little direction or purpose, and often focused on negative things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Parallels with Today\u2019s Organizations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Walk into any busy workplace and observe.\nIn today\u2019s business environments, things can get hectic and you\u2019ll also notice\nopinions flying around everywhere. Most frequently, they are not very positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>That\u2019s not\ngoing to work\u201d;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t have\ndone it the way they did\u201d; <\/em>of<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cHow\nwasteful\/time-consuming\/tedious\/inefficient&#8230;\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a time where\nthe pace of work is faster than ever, opinions are not going to save the day.\nLike a bucket full of frogs, they simply lead us in countless different\ndirections if we don\u2019t put a lid on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what <em>is <\/em>going\nto save the day, then?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My friend and I were in <strong>100% agreement<\/strong> \u2013 the answer is continuous alignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Key is Continuous Alignment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve shared\ngoals, we need to be on the same page, not jumping around like frogs. And we\ncan keep some basic questions in the back of our minds to create that focus: \u201c<em>Are\nwe on the <strong>same track<\/strong>?<\/em>\u201d and \u201c<em>What\nis <strong>important<\/strong> in this situation?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continual\nalignment \u2013 and not just aligning at the start of a project \u2013 helps us stay in\nsimilar mindsets and move forward together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>A Model of Continuous\nAlignment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 4 things\nto remember when you\u2019re trying to maintain alignment throughout a process or\nproject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"649\" src=\"https:\/\/sphereofinfluence360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/model-continuous-alignment-1024x649.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sphereofinfluence360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/model-continuous-alignment-1024x649.png 1024w, https:\/\/sphereofinfluence360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/model-continuous-alignment-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/sphereofinfluence360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/model-continuous-alignment-768x487.png 768w, https:\/\/sphereofinfluence360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/model-continuous-alignment.png 1453w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>1. Alignment on Context<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your business\nand your projects don\u2019t operate in a vacuum. As the globe in the model shows,\nit\u2019s important to be aware of how different things in the world influence our\ngoals and actions. <em>Have your clients interests changed? Are resources that\nyou were counting on, no longer available? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuously\naligning is about ensuring that everyone is up to date and clear on how your\nenvironment is impacting your desired output and way of working \u2013 in other\nwords, it\u2019s about establishing your current context. It helps people stay in\nsync and collaborate better, avoiding duplication of effort and bottlenecks.\nAnd last but not least, It ensures that you deliver products and services that\nagree with clients needs and expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the\nfictional <em>JulKandy, <\/em>a company that manufactures Christmas chocolates.\nEvery year they make sure that around Christmas, lots of households eat\nchocolates shaped like everyone\u2019s favorite reindeer Rudolf. If a well-known\nanimation film maker just launched a blockbuster movie about Rudolf\u2019s\nblue-nosed cousin Bobby, for example, it might be time to order a little extra\nblue frosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the key\nquestion here is: <em>What do we know about our context? How does it impact the\nproducts and services we deliver?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>How To Align on\nContext<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It helps to take a\nstep back one\u2019s in a while and share your thoughts when you see any shifts in\ncontext. Has anything changed that could affect your progress or output? Have\nyou overlooked anything, any \u2018blind spots\u2019 that might trip you up later on? In\naddition, it helps to adopt a <em>Zaken expliciteren <\/em>style to check if you are aligned\non the new context. Try asking questions to zoom in on important contextual\nelements to avoid getting pulled in different directions. Are you all clear on\nthe critical factors that could impact your work? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Alignment on Goals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This one\u2019s about\ngoals. And it\u2019s continuous because sometimes, your direction changes \u2013 for\ninstance, when our context changes (as we\u2019ve seen). Ensuring continuous\nalignment regarding your desired outcome often means adopting a <em>Sturen op proces <\/em>style\nof communication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, it usually\nentails <em>Directing <\/em>others and taking a clear stance about your shared\nintentions. <em>What exactly do you hope to accomplish, and how? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <em>JulKandy, <\/em>the\nhead supervisor might bring all three teams together and outline their\nChristmas goals \u2013 how many boxes of chocolates, and by when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most crucial\nthing about aligning on goals is that you clearly define your playing field.\nWhat are your boundaries \u2013 your dont\u2019s \u2013 and what space \u2013 your do\u2019s \u2013 are you\nleaving for creativity? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>3. Aligning on Content<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuously aligning on content involves\nmaking sure that teammates and co-workers are up-to-date on the latest details\nof your project or task. Once you\u2019ve aligned your goals according to your\ncontext, this part\u2019s about digging into the details that everyone needs to\nhave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, a <em>Zaken expliciteren<\/em> style can come in\nhandy once more. Do the sprinkles team understand that the candy coating team\nwill be sending their chocolates over while they\u2019re still super, super hot? Do\nthe wrapping team know that they need to wait till the sprinkles are set before\nputting on the tinfoil? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, it helps to ask questions,\nsummarize, and rephrase if necessary. For example: \u201c<em>If I understand you\ncorrectly&#8230;\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>4. Personal Alignment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally \u2013 and\nperhaps most importantly, people need to align <em>as people. <\/em><strong>Personal\nalignment <\/strong>is what I like to think of as a meta-process, it means\nchecking in consistently to\nbe sure that everyone\u2019s on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fundamental, most important question here is: <em>Are you fine with\nthat?<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It means ensuring\nthat everyone\u2019s committed, engaged, and most importantly \u2013 on board with why it\nall matters. That means listening actively to what others as humans: attending\nto what they\u2019re saying, empathizing with their concerns, and taking the time to\noffer any support they may need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personal alignment\nshould also involve the less outspoken members of your group so that <em>everyone<\/em>\nfeels some ownership. Say the wrapping team tends to be a quiet bunch who don&#8217;t\nvoice their opinions much, for example. In this case, the <em>JulKandy <\/em>supervisor\nmight benefit from using a <em>Verbinden<br><br> <\/em>style of communicating, too. She\ncould encourage everyone to participate in the discussion by asking questions,\ninviting opinions, and create some space for them to pitch in. <em>How do you\nfeel about that? Have you got everything you need? What do you think?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s critical that\nthis alignment is ongoing \u2013 or at least carried out regularly. Because at the\nend of the day, organizations are human systems \u2013 with a little time and effort\nat the right moments, things are much less likely to break down into a\nwhirlwind of opinions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being able to\nswitch between communication styles is a useful way to help people feel\ninformed, valued, and responsible for the team\u2019s outcomes. Do you have any tips\nabout how you get \u2013 and keep \u2013 your team on the same page?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other day, I was on a coffee date with a friend \u2013 or more specifically, a former \u2018intervision\u2019 partner of mine.
