  • Audit your Internal and External Practices and Projections to evaluate their alignment with the Core Culture–the Purpose, Philosophy, and Priorities.
  • Calculate your Alignment Index and provide recommendations to improve alignment.

3. Develop a plan to improve alignment

  • Develop a Core Culture Alignment Plan to improve alignment of Practices and Projections with the Core Culture.
  • Set measures to improve alignment.

4. Implement the plan and monitor success
