Include specific indicators for alignment, potential misalignments, and techniques to gather data such as surveys or interviews. Offer strategies for closing any identified gaps and suggest best practices for ensuring ongoing alignment. Consider factors such as organizational culture, resource allocation, and performance metrics. Provide your assessment in a structured format, addressing both short-term and long-term considerations.
