In terms of strategic alignment, what should a USR ideally reflect?

A Unit Status Report (USR) should ideally reflect the overall effectiveness in achieving organizational goals because its primary purpose is to provide insights into how well different units are contributing to the organization's objectives. By focusing on the effectiveness in meeting these goals, the USR serves as a comprehensive assessment tool that helps management understand performance relative to strategic aims. It allows for alignment between the unit's activities and the broader organizational mission, enabling stakeholders to identify successes and areas needing improvement.

While other aspects, such as unity of vision across all units or specific goals of individual team members, can be important for operational success, they do not capture the essence of strategic alignment as effectively as the overall effectiveness in achieving organizational goals does. Historical data might provide context but does not directly reflect the current strategic alignment necessary for assessing the performance relative to ongoing targets. Thus, option C encapsulates the core aim of the USR in the context of enterprise strategy.
