SAP BusinessObjects Strategy Management (SSM)

Bridging the Gap between Strategy and Execution

Many strategic programs are derailed by the gap between strategy definition and the processes, technologies, and initiatives required to achieve organizational goals. Column5 enables organizations to bridge the strategy-to-execution gap to make informed decisions that support a unified strategic vision.

Strategize and Align

Column5 embraces a comprehensive decision cycle that addresses key challenges of strategic performance programs. A key part of this cycle is to strategize and align to ensure that:

1. The selected strategy creates value for stakeholders;
2. Resources are aligned with appropriate goals to enable individual accountability.
3. Effective methods for communication are established; and
4. Processes and technologies that support achievement of organizational goals are defined.

By implementing a framework that addresses these issues as part of a continuous evaluation process, organizations can overcome the obstacles that frequently prevent realization of strategic goals.
