What is punctuated misalignment?

Punctuated misalignment refers to situations where an organization's strategy doesn't align with its structure or systems, leading to inefficiencies or conflicts. This can occur when there is a disconnect between the organization's goals and the mechanisms in place to achieve them, causing disruptions or challenges in operations. Addressing punctuated misalignment often requires realigning the organization's strategy, structure, and processes to work together more effectively.
