About this template

Strategies rarely fail at the whiteboard; they fail in the thousand small mismatches between the plan, the budget, the roadmap and what teams do on Tuesday. This assessment scores goal clarity, cascade, resourcing, dependencies and review cadence to measure exactly where the plan stops touching reality. The AI report pinpoints the detach point and the cheapest fix. Useful before any quarter you intend to take seriously.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does strategic alignment actually measure here?
The chain from goal clarity through cascading, resourcing, dependency management to review cadence — scored, with the weakest link named.
Who should complete it?
Leadership plus team leads; alignment is by definition between levels, so single-level answers miss the seam.
Is low alignment a people problem?
Not usually — it is most often a budget and review-cadence problem; the report distinguishes structural from behavioural misalignment.
How is this different from OKR software?
It diagnoses whether your existing goal system is aligned; it replaces nothing, it tells you where to intervene.
What comes out of the AI report?
The detach point in the plan-to-execution chain and one or two fixes ranked by speed of effect.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Click Use This Template to copy the form, scoring and report configuration into your FormLM workspace for free, then customize and share it.
