Scorecarding software helps you align your teams and tactics with strategy, communicate goals consistently and monitor performance against targets.

Align decisions and tactics with strategy

  • Create a metric, diagram or scorecard once and then distribute widely to ensure consistent scorecarding definitions and targets.
  • Use a centralized data store and metrics network to ensure reliable information.
  • Create strategy maps, impact analysis and cause-and-effect diagrams, and other elements of the Balanced Scorecard.

Implement your strategy and track your progress

  • Build and deploy scorecards quickly using wizards.
  • Use menus to define threshold ranges, benchmarks, data source definitions, contact names and URLs for contextual information.
  • Deploy scorecard and metric design tools to reduce the time needed to create and deploy your system.

Ensure ownership and accountability for performance

  • Assign a primary owner for every metric for greater accountability.
  • Organize and view scorecards by status to focus on objectives and performance.
  • View scorecards in a strategy map to see how they fit into corporate strategy.
  • Set events and alerts to keep you aware of changes in metric status.
