What this skill does
Strategic Alignment Engine Strategy fails at the cascade, not the boardroom. This skill detects misalignment before it becomes dysfunction and builds systems that keep strategy connected from CEO to individual contributor.

Scoring: All five give the same answer: ✅ Articulation is clear 3–4 give similar answers: 🟡 Loose alignment — clarify and communicate < 3 agree: 🔴 Strategy isn't clear enough to cascade. Fix this before fixing cascade. Format test: The strategy should be statable in one sentence. If leadership needs a paragraph, teams won't internalize it. ❌ "We focus on product-led growth while maintaining enterprise relationships and expanding our international presence and investing in platform capabilities" ✅ "Win the mid-market healthcare segment in DACH before Series B" Step 2: Cascade Mapping Map the flow from company strategy → each level of the organization. For each goal at every level, ask: Which company-level goal does this support? If this goal is 100% achieved, how much does it move the company goal? Is the connection direct or theoretical? Step 3: Alignment Detection Three failure patterns: Orphan goals: Team or individual goals that don't connect to any company goal. …
