Business Reviews with ActiveStrategy Enterprise

Leveraging Your Performance Management Framework to Drive Focus, Alignment, Accountability, and Action

ActiveStrategy Enterprise (ASE) ties together all key areas of performance – from strategic planning and strategic initiative prioritization, to scorecard/metric deployment, Performance Improvement, Process Management, and even Personal Goal Management to align employees.

The absolute key to driving results in each of these areas is the ASE Business Review, during which an organization's business leaders use ASE software to view performance, discuss issues, drill into performance gaps, review measure variance reports, see progress of ongoing initiatives, and take actions. ASE is the only software designed to facilitate this organization-changing approach to performance.

How ActiveStrategy Enterprise Software Enables Business Reviews

ActiveStrategy Enterprise (ASE) software provides several presentation views and interactive reports that facilitate business reviews, such as Briefing Books, scorecards, dashboards, and stoplight charts. All of these:

• Are easy for regular business users to create, edit, and review (without help from an analyst or IT specialist).


• Are self-updating: Unlike PowerPoint and Excel, presentation views and reports in ASE are dynamically created each time you visit them, so any linked objectives, measures, initiatives, and other data will automatically display the most recently updated information. Old versions of data will never be accidentally displayed.


• Link to one "single source of the truth" within ASE: Multiple views or reports that display the same measure or other performance data are merely pulling up a link to the original object, eliminating the possibility of having multiple versions of the same measure on different reports.


• Encourage action: as you conduct reviews in ASE, you can capture action items, add owners, due dates, and even create automatic email alerts for the actions, ensuring that timely follow up occurs.


• May be printed or saved as a PDF with a single click, allowing you to easily share or publish to the web.
