PilotWorks - Strategy tab

Because managing goals requires more than simply documenting current objectives, PilotWorks’ strategy tab consists of interactive strategy plans, pathways and cause-and-effect modules that serve as organisational memory behind the goal development process, deliver a unified view of the strategic plan, and provide a collaborative environment for discussing and updating goals. While software products based on Microsoft® Office or Web forms enable organisations to publish their goals, these simple solutions lack the ability for multiple authors to collaborate, to track differing versions, or for others to participate in ongoing discussions.

System-generated strategy plans enable collaborative plan developmen

Pathways depict the progressive stages in realizing an organisation’s long-term vision

Cause and effect module helps you understand the impact objectives have on each other

Key features and benefits

• Industry-first implementation of pathways: Depicts the progressive stages in realizing your organisation’s long-term vision; provides an understanding of the phases in which particular objectives play primary roles. Answers the question: “How do I communicate the various time horizons different stakeholders must consider (e.g., executives tend to think two to three years out, directors focus on the annual plan, salespeople worry about quarters, etc.)?”
• Both system-generated and user-imported strategy plans: Easily create one-page summaries of the strategic plan within PilotWorks or import existing graphics into the system. Switch from one format to the other without losing interactivity or backup documentation. Also, allows you to easily create and update strategy plans to fit the requirements of your organisation.
• Enhanced cause-and effect visualisations: Better understand how a mission can be achieved by illustrating which objectives play primary, secondary, or tertiary roles in meeting other objectives (cause) or alternatively which other objectives will be affected by a specific objective (effect).
• Integrated, but available stand-alone: Publishing the strategy even before KPIs have been defined or operational systems integrated helps motivate the workforce and lay the foundation for successful adoption. Feedback from the field can be communicated directly to the strategy development team so that goals can be refined based on real customer feedback. Organisations can then use the system to collaborate on KPI definition.
