Alignment

Alignment within Ludum Vitae is achieved through the discovery and synchronization of shared values among its users. The platform views alignment as a cornerstone for productivity, where individuals who are aligned are more likely to collaboratively propel towards a common goal with greater efficiency and success. This alignment is akin to an orchestra playing in harmony, where each member contributes to a symphony rather than a cacophony. Another way to describe it is a wheel with a missing spoke or two can never be Aligned.

The journey to alignment begins with the articulation and expression of personal and collective values. Ludum Vitae encourages its users to openly communicate their core beliefs and work ethics. By doing so, it becomes possible to identify intersections of shared values, which serve as the foundation for alignment. This is facilitated by the platform’s tools and algorithms, which help to match individuals and groups with similar or complementary value sets.

In many traditional business settings, true alignment remains elusive. Team members may conceal their genuine thoughts and feelings, often due to a lack of a safe space or an effective system to express themselves candidly. This concealment leads to a superficial form of agreement that can undermine team cohesion and productivity. Moreover, without honest discourse, underlying disagreements or misalignments can persist, which can result in passive resistance, disengagement, or even active sabotage of team objectives.
