Goal Diagrams

Use

Use the Goal Diagram to view system-generated or externally created goal diagrams, process diagrams, and other goal summaries, which allow organizations to intuitively visualize their strategic plan. A goal diagram enables collaboration between different functional and strategic business groups. The goal diagram is a visual representation of an organization's strategy, and the processes and systems necessary to implement that strategy. A goal diagram can be used to communicate, motivate, and align the organization to ensure successful execution.

Prerequisites

Your strategy administrator has set up one or more goal diagrams for this context.

Features

The Goal Diagram has the following features:

  • You can access up to three goal diagrams. By default, the names are Goal Diagram 1, Goal Diagram 2, and Goal Diagram 3. Your strategy administrator may have changed the default names. The first diagram always shows the goal diagram. The other two diagrams, if they exist, can also be goal diagrams, process diagrams, organization charts, or something else.

  • You can display an information box for an object in the goal diagram by clicking the object. An information box shows the responsible user, description, comments, and associated items. You can click an associated item to go to the Scorecard tab or Initiative tab, respectively. You can click the comments link to read comments and replies about the object. If you have the correct permissions, you can make a comment or reply to a comment about this object.

  • The objectives, perspectives, and mission shown in the goal diagram and in the information boxes may show status indicators if your strategy administrator has set up certain options when creating the goal diagram.
