How to Reduce Strategy Friction by Aligning Stakeholders at Every Level

Enterprise strategy often breaks down after the plan is agreed.

Delivery stalls, not because people don’t care, but because alignment slips.

Even experienced strategists and consultants can find that solid ideas falter without shared understanding and consistent ownership.

The issue is rarely the strategy itself – it’s the friction between intention and execution.

That friction comes from disconnection:

– misaligned priorities

– siloed functions

– fragmented planning tools

– disengaged stakeholders.

Stakeholder alignment isn’t just a communication issue.

It’s the difference between progress and stagnation.

When teams co-create strategy, they’re more likely to own and act on it.

When everyone’s working from the same map, strategy becomes visible, actionable and scalable.

– Influence increases.

– Outcomes improve.
