1. Management Alignment

2. Management means taking responsibility and being accountable for the way some part of the world works...

3. … there are a lot of working parts...

4. ...whether the part that you're managing is large... or small...

5. chances are, somewhere in the world, there are other people managing parts which are similar to yours.

6. Over time, experiences and common practices are shared and a general discipline evolves to manage specific parts of the world in specific ways... Project Management, Process Management, Production Management, Financial Management, Asset Management, Operations Management, Risk Management, Logistics Management, Information Management, Human Capital Management, Performance Management, Value Chain Management, Strategic Management, Communications Management, Change Management...

7. ...and communities of practice grow and attract more people with similar perspectives... ...which is great until you try and establish a shared understanding with people from other communities.

8. The time has come to manage these different perspectives as discipline in itself... ...the Management Alignment Group is a community focused on b ringing management communities together by providing greater visibility and governance over networks of trust and responsibility.

9. Members of the community meet and share knowledge through the group’s wiki.

10. Help us build a global practice to improve the effectiveness of organisational management. www.managementalignment.org
