When Agreement Is Not Alignment

What drives organisational performance? According to Hywel Griffiths, it's rarely where most leaders first look. Drawing on decades of experience across sport, business, and leadership coaching, this article explores the relationship between performance, teamwork, alignment, and financial outcomes, and why agreement is not the same thing as alignment.

IN THE MESSY MIDDLE

In the Messy Middle reflects where Wicked Outcomes™ thinking is being shaped and not through neat definitions, but in the space between challenge and outcome. As early ideas are shared, three tensions surface: how to clearly describe the journey from Wicked Challenges™ to Wicked Outcomes™, how the Six ITs™ operate as an engine for lasting change, and a growing desire to understand those ITs more deeply in practice.

A RECIPE FOR OUTCOMES

A Recipe for Outcomes explores the thinking behind the Essential Elements of Wicked Outcomes™, not as fixed definitions, but as the ingredients we’ve found need to be present if change is going to last. Building on our earlier work on Wicked Challenges™, this piece reflects on how outcomes show up in practice: across the organisation, in everyday behaviour, in alignment with purpose, and in signals that allow us to talk honestly about progress.

CLOUDS AND BOXES

Strategy is often an inspiring vision, floating high in the Clouds, while execution lives in Boxes—programmes, projects, and deliverables struggling to stay connected. The gap between them is where strategy either thrives or dies. Too many organisations pour effort into planning, only to watch their ideas drift, never fully landing in execution. So how do we bridge Clouds and Boxes to make strategy real? This story explores the missing link—and why getting it right changes everything.
