Themes

Use

Use Themes to review descriptive statements representing major components of a strategy, as articulated at the highest level in the vision. Your organization might have themes about your organization's internal processes, the customer value proposition, or key financial goals. Themes represent vertically linked groupings of objectives across several scorecard perspectives.

Prerequisites

• To review details about the KPIs of an objective used by a theme, you have access to the Scorecard tab.

• To review the initiatives associated with an objective for a theme, you have access to the Initiatives tab.

Features
