Management

Cascading Goals and KPIs

Do your employees struggle to see how their daily work links to the company’s strategic goals? The KPI cascading module translates management’s vision into concrete KPIs for business units and operational levers at workstation level. Artificial intelligence analyses the biggest KPI shifts and supports forecasting target achievement.

Module description

The process from start to finish

Build a transparent goal structure using a three-level cascade, from company-wide key KPIs, through business units, down to operational levers. Monitor goal achievement in the Indicators – overview screen, where you can quickly check statuses and the largest changes from the last week. Switch between a list view and a graphical cascade map to better understand the relationship structure in your organisation. Analyse the network of dependencies between levers, operational KPIs and result KPIs in the Links map tab. Manage definitions, data sources and assigned targets in the details window directly from the Indicator catalogue screen. Change how data is presented on time series charts by choosing weekly, monthly, quarterly or year-to-date views. This way every employee knows exactly what their work really influences.
