Welcome to our Website:
This website has a strong educational focus.
We place everything "up front" in an effort to maximize your strategic learning, for free, in the minimum of time.
We provide World Class software that is totally free and
license version details can be seen in our
Price List page.
Aligned with World Strategic Planning best practice:
This software complies with the Kaplan & Norton designed
Harvard University system for Third Generation Strategy Maps & Balanced Scorecards.
Plus you can add in essential additional business features whilst retaining the ability to incorporate other planning schemes such as the Cranfield University Performance Prism and Lean Thinking models.
This is Not an Accounting or HR System:
A Strategic Planning system is a Management Budgeting system with a "Truth Table", which is aligned with your "Strategic Picture".
Focus:
Fix problems months or years before they become obvious in your Accounting System reports.
Function:
Align your operations to your Strategic Vision using a KPI or KRA that defines how your Strategy Map Objective/Goal applies to every individual.
Properties:
1. It exists in a different timeframe.
2. It has a much broader user base.
3. The stored information is totally different.
4. There is no pre-defined structure.
"Roll your Own" Strategic Plan database design:
The structure of every Strategic Plan in an Organization can different.
In this system you can redefine every term and add popular user-defined columns such as review dates, milestones, links to external documents, account codes, budgets and much more.
Our software meets the adaptability challenge with over 20 user-defined columns.
Multi-Function Initiatives Table:
The optional Initiatives grid has several user-defined columns as well as Budget columns with numeric, currency or percent cell styles.
For each Initiative table row there can be the two monthly tables: Gantt & Finance, each with varying cell styles.
These monthly grids can have optional custom row names that define their purpose.
The function of the monthly grid rows can be used to define the concept of Actual/Planned.
Comprehensive Actual/Planned Planning Schemes:
The software has two separate optional monthly grids.
1. A normal Gantt Grid with a variety of Cell Styles.
2. A Financial/Numeric Grid with the ability to display summary columns in the Initiatives Table.
Either of these can be used to drive the WYSIWYG and you can mix and match for each Initiative.
"Strategy Map WYSIWYG" Closed Loop Learning System:
The software provides an optional Gauge based Closed Loop Learning feedback system which takes the top-down cascaded data structure and provides a gauge based bottom-up measurement system.
This is then averaged and displayed inside both the Organizational Tree and the Actual Strategy Map.
Three Fundamental Strategic Zones are defined:
(The first two combine to create your Strategic Picture)
1. Strategic Statements:
The Statement pages contain the Vision Mission group as well as room for several other statement definitions such as Policies and Procedures.
Each statement is as a concise statement with a link to a larger document.
2. Strategic Intent:
The Strategy Map defines the Perspectives and Objectives in a row-aligned Flow Chart environment. It usually contains the Vision Mission statement group plus the ability to display averaged feedback gauge data for each objective.
3. Strategic Alignment using derived KPIs:
The Balanced Scorecard receives the cascaded Objectives to which other columns are added. Common columns are KPI, KRA, Target, Measure, Score & Next Review.
For each Objective table row there can be many Initiatives.
Very High Software Popularity:
Our mission was to bring Strategy Map Balanced Scorecard software to the world and we have done that and more.
Hence this software is the only mass-market Harvard Uni Strategic Planning system available in the world.
As such it is a run-away success and remains the most popular Balanced Scorecard KPI or KRA software by a factor of 10 or 20 times because of its properties:
New-technology, Fast, Light, Easy, Adaptable, Inexpensive, Harvard Uni K&N compliant, &
Vista 64-bit compatible.
This has seen it used in many organizations who already own the larger systems: Cognos, Qpr, Actuate, Prodacapo, Performance-Soft & Actuate.
Many older established software uses out-dated inefficient software development technology which causes code-bloat and are these days too slow & complex to use.
As the large-system trained staff move on, essential software expertise is lost, corporate strategy becomes static and innovation is lost.
Goodbye High-Cost Software Dinosaurs:
The power in this system is the ability to create a quick 60 minute Strategic Plan as you would do with a Word Document.
If you have a concept like a Strategic Plan Rollout or Change Agenda with associated properties, then this should be in a seperate Strategic Plan rather than part of a nailed-up monolith.
The GEC is here now. The current focus is on middle-management producing fast mobile proactive concepts.
These must be efficiently communicated, managed and measured using a fast, standard, international strategic structure, which is the Harvard University defined Strategy Map driven Balanced Scorecard.
Proposed Import Link from MS-Project:
There is a proposal to link our software to MS-Project so that all projects can be represented strategically.
Project items would be linked to Strategic Objectives and displayed in the Objectives Grid with percent completion.
Project actions would be displayed in the Initiatives grid table and the MS-Project data could be imported at will and the strategic data updated.
