Ladder in hole

Imagine trying to climb a mountain with 20% of your team enthusiastically digging a hole in the opposite direction. That’s what poor strategic alignment looks like.

And it’s not just a metaphor; PMI data shows that fully 1 in 5 projects are so badly aligned with the goals of your organization that they should be stopped.

Not tweaked. Not re-scoped. Stopped. They’re destroying value, burning resources, and dragging you away from your goals.

Here’s the thing: You don’t need more budget. You don’t need more people. You don’t need to "just work harder".

You simply need to stop digging the hole.

This short video shows exactly why poor alignment is preventing the business from achieving its goals (and frustrating your execs while you're at it!).


It also shows what happens when you fix it. And trust me, it's good...

Because when you remove those value-destroying projects, something amazing happens:
You automatically move faster toward your goals. No extra effort required.

That’s the power of strategic alignment done properly. Not with spreadsheets. Not with endless steering committees. But with TransparentChoice:

  • Align projects to strategy, visibly and collaboratively.

  • Make smarter portfolio decisions (that don’t start with “gut feel”).

  • Leverage AI that's built to drive strategic alignment
  • Get buy-in, kill waste, and deliver real business value.
