David
Dell has recently completed a study with The
Conference Board on Strategic Business Alignment
(SBA). The study was sponsored by Gap
International, Inc.
The research was based on a survey of 80 senior executives
in major North American and European companies and some
30 phone interviews with the business leaders in major
US corporations. 67 % of the companies surveyed are headquartered
in the U.S., and 33 % have headquarters in Europe. The
goals of the study were to:
-
Define
the role of SBA for today's corporations
-
Identify key inhibitors and enablers of alignment
-
Define successful approaches to forging SBA
