About ESM+Strategy
The ESM Suite is a cloud-based performance and strategy management solution that enables organizations to formulate strategies, design balanced scorecards, align strategy with organizational objectives, and review employee performance. ESM offers a customizable user interface and dashboards that enable users to visualize performance by creating dynamic strategy maps. We work with organizations of all sizes across sector, from small non-profits, to government agencies and international conglomerates.
When starting out in our Balanced Scorecard product, ESM+Strategy, you'll go through a tutorial to enter in key strategic objectives, measures, and initiatives. Once the strategic architecture is in place, organizations use ESM to centrally collect updates for each of these Balanced Scorecard components, then generate instant reports. ESM eliminates the need for slide decks and spreadsheets that require extensive version control and back-and-forth emails.
Organizations may optionally link personal performance targets to enterprise goals via our employee review platform, ESM+Perform. By establishing this clear connection between individual and corporate goals, organizations improve strategic communication and drive alignment from the top-down.

Dear Al,
Thanks for your review. We listened to your feedback and launched an initiative management module where you can capture criteria, weight the criteria, then rank your initiatives against each criteria, arriving at a weighted score.

It was great to work w/ the ESM team during the initial implementation where they were very effective at working with the executive leadership to capture and formulate specific details to build out the scorecard. Several workshops were held to get the team aligned and comfortable using ESM as the backdrop and means to review the progress on a monthly basis. I was also part of the admin training sessions and those were very informative and covered the necessary features to support the tool in-house.
Pros
The software has an intuitive interface and helps ease the process of setting up the initial scorecard and strategy map as well as maintaining the information going forward. There is considerable flexibility to adapt it to your organization's vocabulary and planning model.
Cons
The hardest part of using the software was bringing new executive leaders up to speed on it after we had our initial workshops to get it in place. Not really a software issue, but more of a training and adoption issue. The ESM team was great about helping Ultivue bridge that gap.

Having a systems team that can do the filling work in real time can make your job easier.
