Welcome to our Balanced Scorecard Website:
This website has a strong totally-free
Educational Focus on
Business Activity Monitoring &
Business Performance
Monitoring.
No Smoke & Mirrors Policy here:
We place everything "up front" in an honest 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.
"Design your Own" Strategic Plan database design:
The structure of every Strategic Plan in every Organization can be different.
In this system you can redefine every term and add many popular user-defined columns such as review dates, milestones, links to external documents, account codes, budgets and much more.
Flexible and Adaptive:
Our Business Activity & Performance Monitoring software is highly adaptable with over 25 user-defined columns.
We do not force you to use any specific Balanced Scorecard Terms or Names.
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 Business Activity Monitoring 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 Visionary 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 Business Activity Monitoring 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, 64-bit compatible, Free Training Videos, Everything shown up front.
This has seen it used in many organizations who have already spent thousands of dollars buying 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.
Corporate Strategy becomes Static and hence Innovation is Lost when the expensive large-system trained staff move on, because it is too expensive to continualy re-train new staff.
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 GFC 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.
