Release 17.050 Notes

RESULTS is pleased to release an upgrade to the way you view and interact with your Strategic Plan. All of your content has been seamlessly migrated into the new format. The philosophy remains the same. RESULTS still cascades your strategy through company projects and metrics, helping your team focus.

Now, they will be able to more easily understand how their work contributes to the overall success of your business. The biggest difference you will see is the layout and new views.

 The Layout

In the upper right you'll see a toggle switch. Your Plan can be viewed in two modes:

• 'Setup' mode (above) walks you step by step through the creation and planning session.
  • A progress bar to track % complete is displayed.
  • To edit, hover over a section and click on the edit icon.

• 'View' mode (below) gives you a compacted One page view.

Note: View mode will only show components which have content

Both views give you access to the Strategy Center in the right hand panel. It can be resized or completely minimized to view the plan in full.

It now holds step-by-step content, videos and workbooks designed by our Head of Strategy and Consulting, Stephen Lynch. Click on a section, watch the video, and bring your ideas to the next Quarterly Strategic Review with Lynch to refine them so they will inspire and focus your team.

Cascading Strategy

A key component of the new Strategic Plan is the ability to link Strategic Projects and key Metrics to sections of your Strategic plan. RESULTS is the first platform in the world to link these two elements together. Never before has your Strategy cascaded through your organization as it will now.

Create Metrics (Key Performance Indicators)
