This document discusses alignment optimization (AO), a methodology created by SchellingPoint to help groups improve coordination and decision-making. It includes concepts like degree of alignment, types and states of alignment, and reasons for misalignment. The methodology uses techniques such as GUBA, action inquiry, and virtual dialogues. It assesses alignment using an alignment index and provides recommendations to address issues like incomplete conversations, complex discussions, and too many opinions. The goal is to help groups beyond normal human limitations to achieve coordinated actions and decisions.
