Initiative Alignment Matrix

A tool that visually demonstrates the relationship between strategic initiatives and objectives, risks, and/or controls. The matrix indicates the strength of alignment using percentage values (ranging from 0% for very weak alignment to 100% for very strong alignment). This tool helps organizations prioritize initiatives based on their strategic impact and identify potential gaps where important objectives or risks lack supporting initiatives. It promotes cross-functional discussion and ensures that change efforts focus on activities with the greatest strategic relevance.
