East Norriton, PA - February 20, 2008 - ActiveStrategy, Inc. (www.activestrategy.com) the leading provider of Enterprise Strategy Execution software and consulting, announced that the North American Treaty Organization Allied Command Transformation (NATO ACT) has contracted with ActiveStrategy for a comprehensive engagement that includes strategy mapping, Balanced Scorecard creation, Business Review implementation, and process improvement management consulting, as well as the deployment of ActiveStrategy Enterprise™ Balanced Scorecard software.  

ACT was established during the 2002 Prague Summit to focus on the transformation of NATO's military capabilities, as well as to prepare, support, and sustain Alliance operations. Since the end of the Cold War; the organization has defined and delivered a new value proposition of peace and mutual security to its 26 member nations, often serving as peacekeepers, supporters in the war on terror, and humanitarian aide providers. ACT’s mission is to think strategically about the future role of NATO in the ever-changing international geopolitical climate and to provide appropriate policies, capabilities, and programs for the organization.

ActiveStrategy is working directly with the Command Group, under the executive sponsorship of the Director of Management, to support the complete implementation of an Enterprise Strategy Execution management system. In addition to strategy mapping, Balanced Scorecard development and cascading, and business review implementation, ActiveStrategy’s Consulting Practice will support the evolution of new business processes, provide training on process improvement techniques, and support the Command’s resource allocation methodology. As ACT’s military personnel typically rotate in 3-year postings, ActiveStrategy will also be working to ingrain Strategy Execution methodology in the organizational learning and knowledge management systems for long-term adherence.

To further ensure that these critical methodologies are widely adopted and implemented consistently, NATO ACT will be utilizing ActiveStrategy Enterprise v7.0, software that will automate the deployment of the organization’s cascaded scorecards, objectives, and performance measures. In addition, the software system will house the projects and programs that make up the outputs of the Command in a way that clarifies the linkage between work activities and strategic priorities.

“NATO ACT is an incredibly complex organization with significant strategic challenges,” explained Andy Vogler, Lieutenant Colonel and Project Manager of the Balanced Scorecard implementation. “ActiveStrategy’s expertise and supporting software will enable our Command to improve its planning and execution methods for the new era.”

“Our goal is to implement a management system at NATO ACT that will become part of the organizational DNA,” said Michael Brazukas, Principal and Vice President, Public Sector Consulting Practice, ActiveStrategy. “I know that ACT’s leadership is committed to the change process, and the resulting effectiveness, efficiency, and value to the member nations will be substantial.”
