EAST NORRITON, PA (June 21, 2006) — ActiveStrategy, Inc. (www.activestrategy.com), the leading provider of complete Enterprise Strategy Execution solutions, announced that Kaiser Permanente, the nation’s leading integrated healthcare system, will expand their use of ActiveStrategy Enterprise software within their 145,000 plus employee organization.

ActiveStrategy has worked closely with various groups and regions within Kaiser Permanente for almost two years, helping to develop strategic Performance Dashboards for health plan functions. For example, online dashboard implementations have helped create more focus in the health plan sales organization to align with their significant strategic investments – such as HealthConnect (their market leading electronic medical record system). During this process, ActiveStrategy has provided both the consulting expertise and the enabling software to develop content, clarify strategic objectives and goals, measure successes in the organization by line of business, and identify lagging and leading indicators for performance against the strategic objectives.

Jack Steele, Chairman and CEO of ActiveStrategy remarked “We are delighted to be taking this next step with Kaiser Permanente, a client who is very serious about how they think about and manage performance. Their unique, integrated model has drawn much praise. In fact, many outside observers consider their model as the way to address many of the challenges facing healthcare. We look forward to helping them reach new levels of success.”

“Kaiser Permanente is coalescing around strategy and measurement in a way that we have not been able to do before,” explained Daniel Edmonds, Director of Program Management and Chief of Staff with Kaiser Permanente’s Sales and Account Management.  “Having operational metrics online for projects, initiatives, and the diverse functions of this complex organization is proving to be an excellent way to engage large numbers of people in meeting strategic goals.”
