Earlier today I drew a picture of what a well-aligned enterprise would look like. That drew my attention to the fact that most of the tools we have in our alignment toolbox only focus on one aspect of one dimension. At the simplest, there are 3 aspects in 4 dimensions - is it any wonder, then, that every silver alphabet soup bullet to come out of the woodwork in the past 2 decades has not managed to live up to anything close to expectations?!
