The ClearPoint Strategy Success Framework: Communicating Results

Executing an organizational strategy cannot be done alone. It requires teamwork, timely updates, and effective communication. One of the biggest hurdles organizations face in strategy execution is communicating across different departments, which results in a struggle to keep teams in line with the overall strategic direction. When team members are misaligned, initiatives can veer off track, and valuable time and resources can be wasted.

Access to real-time reports is crucial for keeping stakeholders informed and involved. Organizations need a way to share and interpret information - often requiring a mix of qualitative insights and quantitative data - efficiently. This transparency is essential, especially for public organizations, as keeping everyone engaged builds trust and buy-in.

ClearPoint Strategy was designed to facilitate the communication needed to keep your strategy on track, ensuring that everyone, from executives to front-line employees, is on board. By offering sophisticated internal and external communication tools, the ClearPoint platform fosters a collaborative environment crucial for public and private organizations alike.

With over 50 years combined experience helping organizations plan and execute their strategies, the ClearPoint Strategy Success Framework was created by the experts. Below is a breakdown of how ClearPoint supports the fourth success factor: Communicating Results.

Increased Communication

ClearPoint offers several features that allow for the dissemination of performance updates and metrics:

Workflows and Processes

ClearPoint’s Workflows coach users to make updates with ease, ensuring that processes are streamlined and tasks are tracked and completed on schedule. Automated deadline Reminders can be set up to request updates in a timely manner. Not only do these features improve efficiency, but they also promote accountability across the board.

Collaboration

Imagine a scenario where a project manager needs input from a contributor on a specific task. With @Mentions, the manager can directly tag people, ensuring prompt attention. Alerts can also be used to notify stakeholders about any changes. Furthermore, on-page Discussions let you collaborate with your team in real-time, keeping communication fluid.

ClearPoint’s integration with Microsoft Teams makes collaboration even easier. MS Teams integrates content to include chat, video meetings, file storage, and application integration. ClearPoint for Teams makes it easy to share updates, documents, and progress, ensuring that all are working toward collective goals.

Better Reporting

Insightful reporting that will improve decision-making in your organization. ClearPoint provides the opportunity across elements for qualitative analysis alongside your quantitative data, meaning you can capture the full picture of your strategy’s progress and status.  Our data visualization capabilities (with customizable styles!) make measures easy to digest in order to help your team comprehend results.

Then, generate custom reports to send to specific groups on a repeating schedule. Briefing Books allow you to tailor collections of reports to different audiences, making insights more impactful. These are perfect for meetings and presentations, allowing you to compile and present all relevant information in a structured and professional manner.

Dashboards

For organizations that need to share information with other stakeholders, design sleek dashboards that showcase your results. Construct internal dashboards to monitor strategy at a glance, export graphs and charts to embed on existing sites, or publish external dashboards that pull data directly from your ClearPoint account.

Internal Dashboards

By providing a centralized platform for monitoring and analyzing performance data, dashboards allow for in-depth strategic management. Integrate departmental objectives, measures, and projects with top-level strategic goals. This internal visibility is critical for identifying issues, optimizing processes, and accelerating decision-making, helping organizations to stay efficient. Brand your dashboards according to your organization's look and feel to further motivate your team.

Community Dashboards

For organizations aiming to engage and communicate openly with constituents, public-facing dashboards are indispensable tools. These dashboards serve as a transparent window into an organization’s achievements, allowing the public to view real-time updates on various initiatives. By making strategic outcomes visible and understandable, public dashboards play a crucial role in giving communities a sense of shared goals and mutual success.
