Product Information

The SAP Strategy Management application integrates the following pillars of strategy management: goals, initiatives, and key performance indicators. It can link these to accountable individuals, enabling organizations to hone their decision making and achieve their objectives.

The SAP Library documentation for SAP Strategy Management includes the following content:

• Startup Requirements provides steps for strategy management users to set up their environment.

• Administration enables strategy management administrators to define strategy objects and specify settings for the application using the administration application. The administration application allows companies to distribute administrative tasks to multiple people throughout the organization, promoting self-service.

• Entry and Approval enables users of the Entry and Approval application to streamline the process of populating measures in a performance management system. A workflow system provides structure around the process, reducing the amount of time spent on measure collection and approval.

• Home enables users of the Home tab to set up their own personalized view of the strategy management application. Through system messages and a condensed personalized performance summary, the Home tab monitors both individual and organizational performance.

• Strategy enables users of the Strategy tab to visualize and update goals, cause and effect diagrams, and pathways or themes. Goal diagrams and pathways help motivate employees and foster a sense of ownership by communicating the organization's vision and mission, as well as the underlying steps to achieve them.

• Scorecard enables users of the Scorecard tab to monitor performance toward goals.

• Initiatives enables users of the Initiatives tab to prioritize and focus resources appropriately even in the face of conflicting tasks so that resources support the milestones most critical to organizational goals. The Initiatives tab provides summary views of initiatives supporting overall objectives, as well as the milestones supporting each initiative, interdependencies between them, and schedule and budget status.

• Briefing Books enables users to formalize the review process of capturing, consolidating, and presenting certified information on goals, initiatives, and measures. Users can consolidate information captured from anywhere within the strategy management application into a unified story of performance and publish it externally, distributing performance insights to constituents who do not have direct access to the system.

• Dashboards provides users a quick overview of key organizational measures to evaluate how they are performing at various levels within the organization.

• Reports enables users to measure and uncover the root of performance issues.
