Executive Alignment Index

operationalsurvey rollup · leadership · score · team

Per-dimension dispersion of leaders' elicited priorities plus each leader's distance from the leadership-team centroid; tight = aligned, wide = the team disagrees. Level-aware (alignment expectations differ by org level). Proposed (pa-original); no normative benchmarks established.

How it’s computed

Formula
per-dimension dispersion (e.g., SD / IQR) of elicited priority allocations across N leaders + each leader's distance from the team centroid
Measurement model
operational (a formula over systems data) — not a reflective survey scale; “reliability” here means data quality, not internal consistency

What it operationalizes

This metric measures the construct(s) below from operational data. Through them, it connects to the meta-analytic relationship network — the bridge from what you measure operationally to what the science knows.

Leader Forecast Accuracy Score

Point-estimate accuracy of a leader's forecasts of their own organization's measures, scored against recorded actuals. Proposed (pa-original); no normative benchmarks established.

Leader Forecast Calibration Score

Interval honesty of a leader's forecasts: whether stated 80%/90% intervals contain actuals at their nominal rates, scored with the interval-score (width penalty + miss penalty) / Brier family. Proposed (pa-original); no normative benchmarks established.
