How to Align Teams with Strategic Pillars and Oramapp

The Challenge of Strategic Alignment

As a Transformation Director or PMO, you are responsible for implementing strategy. Yet, despite a clear vision and well-defined priorities at the top, execution on the ground is often fragmented, inconsistent, and difficult to manage.

Common Challenges:

• Teams interpret strategy differently.
• Projects advance in silos, disconnected from the overall vision.
• Performance reports are disjointed, making it hard to measure real impact.

Result: Wasted time, resources, and missed opportunities.

The Solution: Strategic pillars and a dedicated platform like Oramapp to connect strategy with execution—from corporate level to daily tasks.

1. What Is a Strategic Pillar?

A strategic pillar is a long-term priority that structures strategy implementation. It is not a short-term goal but a development axis that guides decisions and actions over several years.

Examples of Strategic Pillars:

• Customer Experience: Improve satisfaction and loyalty.
• Innovation & Digital Transformation: Accelerate the adoption of new technologies.
• Operational Excellence: Optimize processes and reduce costs.
• Market Expansion: Penetrate new segments or geographies.
• Talent & Culture: Attract, train, and retain top talent.

Why Are They Essential?

• Simplify Complexity: Reduce strategy to 3–5 key axes, easy to communicate and remember.
• Create a Common Language: All employees speak the same language and understand how their work contributes to the strategy.
• Stabilize Execution: Even if tactics evolve, pillars remain stable, providing a clear reference.
