The Three Pillars of Team Alignment

As your business grows and you build more and more teams, successful team alignment is crucial to efficient operations. It sounds like a simple enough idea, but practically, getting all of your teams on the same page and working together can be a difficult task.
Corinne Sklar of Bluewolf has laid out what she calls the “three pillars” of team alignment to help both new and established businesses. Her three pillars are “make it fast, make it work, and make it stand out.”
To make it fast, she suggests that you have a project manager for your marketers who knows how to execute ideas quickly. Making it work means aligning with your sellers in a way that includes metric data as well as deeply understanding your customer’s pain points and stories. Standing out also means putting an emphasis on design and taking risks to aesthetically stand apart from those around you. By digging in and building your teams on these three pillars, you will be in a place to serve your customers more deeply and efficiently.
