ASE’s Personal Goal Management (PGM) functionality enables organizations to tie employee-level goals and objectives to the corporate strategy, and to track both organizational and individual employee performance within one software application.
The improved PGM module in ASE v7.0:
- allows users to own an unlimited number of personal scorecards, which can now be created and tracked by any frequency, while retaining access to appraisal reports from previous years
- allows administrators to establish scorecard templates, company-wide public goals, and scorecard themes (similar to “perspectives” on typical corporate or organizational scorecards), that allow for grouping of individual goals
- allows individual employees to create his or her own personal goals and link them to their PGM scorecards
Stoplight Charts
Stoplight Charts are one of the many ways ASE presents performance information to executives and managers. They are especially helpful for organizations that need to look at and compare measures across multiple divisions, units, or geographical areas. These charts display an individual stoplight indicator (green, yellow, and red) for each measure within each division, unit, or area within a single matrix format. This allows managers or executives to quickly determine if there are performance outliers, systemic problems, or opportunities for one area to learn from another.
In ASE v7.0, Stoplight Charts:
- are simplified and more intuitive so that any user can easily create them
- allow not only measures, but also initiatives to be viewed for at-a-glance performance monitoring of project budget and timing status
- allow administrators to create templates and series that can be made available to all users within the organization
- present more details to users, including the measure owner’s name, a description, and additional quantitative information. Users simply hover over each “cell” within the chart to view more these additional details.
Visual Maps
ASE 7.0 includes an entirely new feature called Visual Maps, which allow users to create almost limitless types of visual performance pictures, including Strategy Maps, organizational charts, geographical measure depictions, and more. Users simply upload any image (in jpg, gif, or bitmap format) and then click to link and display ASE objects (such as Balanced Scorecard measures, objectives, or initiatives) within the image. Linked objects appear as “hotspots” anywhere within the boundaries of the image and can be moved and sized according to the user’s preferences.
Visual Maps add a new level of flexibility to ASE. In addition to the typical Balanced Scorecard objects mentioned previously, Visual Maps allow users to link processes, program groups (groups of initiatives or complex projects), complete scorecards, and even other Visual Maps. For complex organizations, this means that executive teams and managers can create multi-dimensional layers of performance information – potentially from a top-level strategy map all the way down to aligned processes and improvement projects – all linked and displayed in a user-defined graphical format.
