Business Execution Software
The #1 issue for CEOs and CIO and other C-level executives is EXECUTION.
If you look at a typical organization, every company has a strategy. On the back end, you have the results you generate. But in most companies, there’s an "execution gap" between strategy and results, which is where real work gets done and where value gets created for a business.
SuccessFactors helps you close the execution gap in two ways:
Business Alignment:
We help you break down your strategy into department, team and individual goals and give you tools to monitor progress against them in real-time so you can proactively guide business results.
People Performance
We help you make sure you have the right people in the right jobs and that every person on your team is performing to their full potential.
Do these things help your business run better and help you make more money? Our customers on average found that they were almost 3% more productive as a result of implementing SuccessFactors. Why? They were better able to communicate strategy and changes in strategy, they spent more time on strategic priorities, and got more projects completed.

IT departments should capture and track metrics that enable a more rigorous and analytical approach to decision making to influence the business. IT objectives for a metrics program should be to measure and minimize infrastructure IT spending while maximizing productivity for the organization. Work with senior management to include IT metrics as part of strategic projects that inevitably require IT involvement, such as the launch of a new product or application.
Also, consider developing an IT scorecard. Formally tracking IT performance as it is related to IT’s contribution to corporate objectives will ensure that long-term goals stay on track. Single metrics are less effective because they exist in a vacuum: an IT scorecard will provide a system for evaluating what value IT is providing the business. Consider working with a CxO to ensure that the scorecard follows the company-wide scorecard.

Business planning for small companies
Business planning is important for businesses, but few take the time to plan using sound business concepts. Effective business planning requires a focus on the organization's mission, vision and values, along with careful consideration of the impacts on the organization from both internal and external forces. Based on data gathered through a thorough situation analysis, a business then establishes goals and objectives that they will plan to meet through effective strategies and tactics.
Situation Analysis
A situation analysis is a concept of business planning that involves a thorough review of the internal and external environment to provide a foundation for businesses to determine their goals and objectives. Situation analysis encompasses considerations about existing and desired customers, existing and impending competitors, as well as industry and environmental issues that could impact the business. The collection of this data is used as an input into a SWOT analysis--the consideration of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that the business faces.
Mission, Vision and Value Alignment
Alignment is a critical concept of business planning. Whether or not a business has a stated mission and vision, its owners certainly have an idea of why the business exists, what it offers and who it serves. Values provide an indication of the company's beliefs in terms of how it operates. In business planning, goals and objectives should be aligned with the mission, vision and values of an organization. A not-for-profit health care organization, for instance, will not plan to build a for-profit health club before investing in needed upgrades to hospital facilities.
Clear Goals and Objectives
Clear goals and objectives in business planning ensure that everyone involved in implementing the plan know what they are attempting to achieve. In addition, clear goals and objectives provide an indication of the resources that will be necessary for success. The resources required to sell $1 million in products will be significantly more than what would be required to sell $100,000 in products, for instance. Measurable goals and objectives provide the basis for implementation of the plan and measurement of plan progress.
Focused Strategies and Tactics
Your strategies and tactics should be designed to achieve the goals and objectives you established. Strategies are broad and are designed to either capitalize on your strengths and weaknesses or overcome your weaknesses and threats. For instance, a strategy might be: "Leverage high customer satisfaction scores to attract new business." Tactics are more specific and indicate specific operational tasks that must be accomplised to achieve strategies. An example of a tactic might be: "Tweet about customer service satisfaction scores."
