Seems awful "motherhood and apple pie" to me. Yes aligning goals is good. Yes fulfilling the means is good. HOW in a specific domains and context would you suggest these be executed?

Alignment of goals is key to project success. Add to that whatever tweaks you can make to the culture to support it & you have a win-win situation. Biggest problem we have here is shifting priorities & having key resources pulled off to fix legacy problems. It's hard to align the goals when the goals keep changing. By keeping everyone focused on the same goal, things get done, & they get done well. Shorter iterations help, because they provide an opportunity to refocus. You’ve really nailed it here.
