Dear Readers,
I have a lot of questions for you in this issue: Is your organization aligned? Are you building enough customer equity? And, what the heck happened??

That last question is for the now-defunct organizations that were hailed 25 years ago as shining examples of America 's best-run companies in the business classic In Search of Excellence.

But, don't worry. We won't let that happen to you because we also have answers: three steps to achieving an aligned organization, a free customer equity metric from Peppers and Rogers, and, as for that last question...I'll let performance management guru Gary Cokins tackle that one.

Enjoy — and thanks for reading!

What happened in the 25 years since the book was published? And how can you keep the same thing from happening to your organization? Find out by visiting the new blog by performance management expert Gary Cokins.
