Why Line of Sight Matters

Every company has a strategy.

The challenge is turning that strategy into action across the organization — so every employee understands what the business is trying to achieve, why it matters, and how their work contributes.

Too often, employees are focused on their individual responsibilities without seeing the bigger picture.

When people can't connect their daily decisions and actions to business outcomes, priorities become misaligned, accountability weakens, and growth suffers.

The research reveals just how significant this disconnect can be.

"95% of employees, on average, claim they are not aware of or do not understand their company’s strategy."

— Kaplan & Norton, Harvard Business Review, "Creating the Office of Strategy Management"

When employees closest to customers and the processes that create value cannot see how their work connects to strategy, even the best strategy becomes harder to execute.

By linking their daily projects to overarching company goals, your early talent has a clear line of sight into how their work contributes to business outcomes.

Line of Sight closes that gap.

It creates a clear connection between what employees do every day and what the company needs to achieve.

Think of the NASA janitor who famously described his job as "helping put a man on the moon." He understood that his work, however small it might seem, contributed to a much bigger mission.

The same is true in business.

When employees understand where the company is going, why it matters, and how their role contributes, they become more engaged, accountable, and focused on the outcomes that drive the business.

When everyone can see the goal—and their role in achieving it—you create the alignment that turns strategy into growth.

Task Execution to Value Creation

The Value Creator's Perspective

Tasks are how work gets done. Value is why it matters. Line of Sight connects the two.

The Relationship Between Tasks and Value

See how Line of Sight transforms the way professionals see their work — from Task Executors to high-impact Value Creators.

The Task Executor View

  • A New Project: "How many hours will this take, and what is my deadline?"
  • Facing a Problem: "I’ll wait for my manager to tell me how to fix this."
  • Learning a Skill: "I need this certificate to add to my LinkedIn profile."
  • Daily Work: "I finished my 10 tickets for the day. My job is done."

The Value Creator View

  • A New Project: "How will this project increase revenue or reduce costs for the company?"
  • Facing a Problem: "I will propose a solution that protects our commitments to the client."
  • Learning a Skill: "I need this skill to solve a specific bottleneck in our business process."
  • Daily Work: "I improved the system so we won't get these 10 tickets tomorrow."
The Corporate Entrepreneurship Mindset

Build Value Creators, Not Just Task Executors

The goal of Line of Sight isn't simply to help professionals understand their jobs.

It's to help them understand the business context behind their work, the value they create, and the outcomes they can influence.

With that understanding, professionals can begin to think and act more like intrapreneurs — spotting opportunities, making better decisions, solving problems proactively, and looking beyond their immediate tasks to create greater business value.

That's how Line of Sight helps build a more adaptable, resilient, and growth-oriented organization — starting with your new hires.
