Supporting Features in ActiveStrategy Software
EXECUTIVE BUY-IN & SUPPORT
Features to Support
- ActiveStrategy software was built to explicitly mirror the way a business user thinks
Benefits to Users
- This makes the system intuitive and helps get executives comfortable with
the click-to-drill-down approach.
- ActiveStrategy coaching & training
- We help clients work through the process of building content, putting it
in the system, and learning to effectively use it to manage performance, ensuring that you will get the results you need.
STRATEGIC PLANNING & MAPPING
Benefits to Users
- The Strategy Map is a brief, visual depiction of the strategic plan and the
basis for good Balanced Scorecards. ActiveStrategy software helps you build a
Strategy Map and creates the linkage to your scorecards.
- A feature new to v7.0 that allows users to upload any image and link objects, such as measures, objectives, or initiatives, that appear as "hotspots" on the image.
TOP-LEVEL BALANCED SCORECARDS
Features to Support
- Rapid Scorecard Creation & Updating
Benefits to Users
- Individual business users can easily and quickly create or modify
scorecards, objectives, measures, and initiatives without requiring an
IT or administrator’s assistance
- Personalized Dashboard views for each user
- Users can easily create Dashboard views that include the trend charts,
initiative reports, scorecards, etc. to ensure every user sees the Balanced
Scorecards and other relevant performance information.
- Links measures/KPIs to organizational strategy through objectives
- Within ActiveStrategy software, all measures are linked to one or more
strategic objective. This ensures that measures are well linked to the
organization’s strategy, so the most important areas receive their due
focus.
CASCADED BALANCED SCORECARDS
Benefits to Users
- Allows users to drill down and across various organizational scorecards to identify drivers of poor performance before they impact high-level outcomes.
- Supports both dimensional and causal relationships between strategic objectives and linked measures
- Unlike analytics-based applications, ActiveStrategy software is designed to help organizations identify, manage, and improve the true root cause of poor performance (not just where a problem exists, but also why a problem exists).
- Measure Roll-up and Calculation
- Lets measure owners define how and when to roll-up or calculate measures to create higher-level indices, averages, and other types of calculations.
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT
Supporting Feature
- Strategic Initiative Linkage
Benefits to Users
- When performance is below target, strategic initiatives (i.e. time-bound
projects) address the gaps. ActiveStrategy software lets you link Initiatives
to strategic Objectives or Measures, plus track and manage tasks and milestones
to keep Initiatives focused and effective. Supports DMAIC-based improvement
projects.
SCORECARD BUSINESS REVIEW MANAGEMENT
Features to Support
- Supports scorecard business reviews through drill-down, linkage, variance reporting, and discussion thread capabilities
Benefits to Users
- Facilitates an informed business review process where management is based
on all relevant information, not just pieces or opinions. Through ongoing use
of ActiveStrategy software, organizations are able to stop “fighting fires”
and instead manage performance in a predictive, constructive manner.
- Users can quickly and easily create and print their own customized report
“book” format, collecting all relevant information -- even from multiple
scorecards -- in one, simple view, ideal to focus Business Review discussion.
For added flexibility, users’ books can have multiple “chapters” to maintain
various at-a-glance reports of current performance.
PROCESS MANAGEMENT
Benefits to Users
- Users can attach process documentation, such as maps and flow charts,
providing quick access to critical process information, where root causes
of performance issues typically manifest. ActiveStrategy software may also
be integrated with control-ES process management software from Nimbus Partners.
- Six Sigma dashboard and control chart support
- ActiveStrategy software provides a great way to view strategic
linkage of multiple Six Sigma improvement projects. Users can create dashboards to track DMAICs or view Control Charts.
EMPLOYEE GOAL & COMPENSATION ALIGNMENT
Benefits to Users
- Links and aligns individual employees’ personal goals to strategy.
Personal Goal scorecards show progress of training and development goals,
supervisor commentary, and weighted scoring, while revealing the true
impact of these personal goals on linked measures from organizational
scorecards. Produces year-end summary reports, which may be printed and
submitted to HR.
BUDGET INTEGRATION
Supporting Feature
- Initiative budget, progress & cost tracking and reporting
Benefits to Users
- Enables users to track and report on strategic improvement Initiatives and
capital projects, plus see the impact of these Initiatives on aligned Scorecard
Objectives and Measures. This ensures organizational alignment between the
strategic and operating plans. ActiveStrategy software may also be integrated
with client-side budgeting software.
