Strategy

Information on how your organisation can use our application to manage strategy.

Our application provides a view of organisational and group Strategy. Strategy is the game plan for strengthening the organisation as a whole or a group within an organisation.

The Strategy tab provides a detailed view of the organisation / group’s strategic drivers. Strategic drivers are the key components of strategy. For example, strategic drivers for a Hotel Group could be as follows: grow our revenue, attract & retain quality staff, optimise our resources, enhance the wellbeing of our guests.

You can add Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to each of these drivers. Individual strategic drivers can also be reviewed and given a RAG status (Red, Amber, Green) to indicate how well the driver is being executed. If regular reviews are carried out and data added to the KPIs, then this tab provides a graphic view of how well your organisation or group is executing its strategy.

The rest of this tutorial outlines how to enter and view strategic information.

Add strategic drivers and KPIs

Add strategic driver

Strategic drivers are added from the Organisation dropdown on the top level Horizontal Navigation Bar. Click on the + icon next to Strategy.

Add KPIs

Once you have created a driver, you can add KPIs to it.

Edit KPI(s)

If you are using data to track the progress of a KPI, then you’ll want to update this data over time. Prior to actual data becoming available, forecast data can be added/edited to show whether or not it’s likely that the planned targets are will be achieved.

Review a strategic driver

Regular reviews of strategic drivers help keep your organisation / group focused and up to date on how execution of strategy is going. The frequency of the review depends on the organisation. It’s worth updating KPI data prior to carrying out a review (see section above this one).

View strategy

To view strategy at the organisational level, click on the Organisation dropdown on the top level Horizontal Navigation Bar and select Strategy
