Lattice Goal Alignment Visualizer Across Organizational Hierarchy
People leaders using Lattice set OKRs at company, team, and individual levels but struggle to visualize how goals cascade and identify alignment gaps. Reviews cite difficulty seeing which team goals actually connect to company priorities and which individual goals are orphaned. A visual alignment layer that maps goal relationships across the hierarchy, detects orphaned or misaligned goals, and shows contribution rollups helps leadership ensure everyone is pulling in the same direction.
Problem Statement
A 300-person company uses Lattice for OKRs. The CEO sets 5 company goals. Each of 8 departments sets 3-5 team goals. Each of 300 employees sets 2-4 individual goals. The leadership team cannot see a unified view of how these 1,200+ goals connect. 40% of individual goals do not link to any team goal. 2 team goals support a company priority that was deprioritized last quarter. Nobody realizes this until the quarterly review when progress feels scattered and unfocused.
The Idea
A Lattice companion that visually maps goal alignment across company, team, and individual levels, detects orphaned or misaligned goals, and provides alignment score metrics for leadership review.
Why Now
The OKR adoption wave that peaked during remote work has matured into a management discipline requiring better tooling. Lattice's 2024-2025 growth in mid-market makes goal alignment tooling relevant for more companies. Investor pressure on efficient growth means leadership needs to verify that every team's effort connects to strategic priorities. The disconnect between setting OKRs and verifying alignment is the most cited OKR implementation failure mode.
