Align · 03

Who owns which number, and where it stands.

You set the KPIs at the start of the quarter. Align tracks them every week, holds them against what the business committed to, and asks whether last week's decisions were actually acted on.

What Align does

The scorecard you meant to keep updated.

Targets, tracked weekly

Every department KPI against target, every week — not pulled together the night before a review. You see drift while there is still a quarter left to fix it.

Every number has a name against it

Refund rate belongs to someone. So does cover, and MER, and full-price mix. Nobody has to ask whose number it is, and nobody can assume someone else has it.

Last week's decisions, checked

You agreed three things on Monday. Align asks on the next Monday whether they happened. It is the question the meeting skips because nobody wants to be the one to raise it.

Escalation when it repeats

When the same action carries two weeks running and the number moves the wrong way, Align says so. Small problems surface before they become the reason the quarter missed.

Straight into the board pack

The quarter's KPI performance becomes the people and performance section in Compass. No one rebuilds it in a slide deck the week before the board meets.

The gap

You find out things slipped at the end of the quarter.

You set the KPIs. You built the spreadsheet. For three weeks everyone updated it, and then a busy fortnight arrived and nobody did.

A decision gets made on Monday. Everyone leaves with their action. By Wednesday it has been deprioritised, and by the following Monday nobody wants to be the one to say it did not happen. Twelve weeks later the review explains what went wrong.

Align closes that gap — not through surveillance, but by asking the question every week and putting the answer where the executive already looks.

What it is not

This is not performance management.

Align does not review people. It tracks numbers and the actions attached to them, so a good team can see where the quarter is drifting while there is still time to change it.

Most carry-forward actions do not slip because someone did not care. They slip because the week filled up and nothing surfaced it. Align surfaces it.

Your team already knows their numbers. Align makes sure everyone else does too — including the board.

Align

Know at week two. Not week twelve.
