SCORECARDING
|
 |
|
|
Scorecarding is a key capability within Cognos 8 Business Intelligence, a single product that provides complete BI capabilities on a proven architecture. Scorecarding helps you align your teams and tactics with strategy; communicate goals consistently, and monitor performance against targets.
|
|
Ensure ownership and accountability for performance: |
- Assign a primary owner for every metric.
- Organize and view scorecards by status to focus on objectives and performance; view them by owner to understand accountability; or view them in a strategy map to see how they fit into the corporate strategy.
- Set alerts and notifications to keep you aware of when a metric changes status.
- Embed business intelligence capabilities into your scorecards for added context and analysis.
- Manage corrective actions and initiatives from within the application.
|
Align decisions and tactics with strategy: |
- Use a metrics network and centralized data store to ensure reliable and consistent information.
- Create a metric, diagram, or scorecard once and use them wherever else they are needed to ensure consistent definitions and targets.
|
Implement your strategy and execute against it: |
- Build and deploy scorecards quickly using wizards.
- Scorecard and metric design tools reduce the time you need to create and deploy your system.
- Use menus to define threshold ranges, benchmarks, data source definition, contact names, and URLs for contextual information.
- Create strategy maps, impact analysis and cause-and-effect diagrams, and other elements of the Balanced Scorecard.
|
Simple deployment and administration: |
- Recalibrate targets in response to changes in performance with integrated planning capabilities.
- Browser-based, zero-footprint environment minimizes training and maintenance.
- Multilingual: metrics can be populated in any language and then displayed in users' preferred language.
- Single sign-on dialog box.
- Three- and five-state status indicators and plan vs. actual data reveal progress against targets.
- Flexible user environment: view scorecards over the Web or in PDF.
