The Alignment Gap: What Your OKR Tools and Engagement Surveys Miss
Plan tracking tools tell you whether the work is getting done. Engagement surveys tell you how your people feel. Neither tells you whether your team actually understands the strategy and has the capacity to deliver on it.
This guide maps the specific gap those tools leave, explains why it's the question that determines whether a strategy moves or stalls, and outlines how organizational leaders can start measuring it.
