| FAQ
Why is your process and software important?
Because most organisations are trapped in the complexity of a
confusing mix of disconnected values, vision and mission statements;
multiple plans and strategies; dry and dusty measurement metrics
and lengthy reports. We take them beyond this complexity to the
simplicity of everything they need to see, in one place, integrated
to drive improved performance. If you want to do it, you have
to see-it™!
What type of software is see-it™?
see-it™ is a web hosted visible strategy tool that integrates
vision, goals, strategies and indicators. It consists of two principle
components. The "frontground" is what has been widely
described as the world's most engaging dashboard and the "background"
is a powerful, flexible business object manager that stores and
manages data, allows for data feeds from other systems and which
can generate customised reporting.
How is see-it™ delivered?
see-it™ is web-hosted so does not need extensive involvement
with IT departments to implement. It can be built and active in
as little as a few hours.
Can see-it™ help with stakeholder engagement?
See-it™ is an extraordinary stakeholder engagement tool.
It allows an organisation and its stakeholders to see everything
they are trying to achieve in one place, in elegant simplicity.
see-it™ can be altered on the spot to show how the organisation
will alter its actions in relation to stakeholder input. This
has an amazingly cathartic effect in building trust with stakeholders
as they can see the organsational roadmap changing in front of
them. When see-it™ is used in meetings, people stop arguing
and start collaborating.
Aren’t there lots of software tools like this?
No. see-it™ communicates with real people in a real way
like no other piece of software. It captures in elegant simplicity
the passion, energy and multi-dimensionality of how ethical organizations
are striving to operate in the 21st century.
Can we just buy the software without your services?
Yes. However, we have developed a simple, quick, process delivered
by a first class team that will allow you to maximise the value
of your investment in the software, minimize the time taken to
get see-it up and running and to tap into the energy, passion
and commitment of your people. Typically, in a few quick workshops,
we help our clients to improve substantially their vision, goals,
strategic plans and indicators, link them together and increase
the collaboration, teamwork and shared leadership that is needed
to get things done.
How does CSR and Sustainability fit into see-it™?
Visible Strategies is helping ethical leaders in many sectors
to move beyond traditional approaches to CSR or sustainability.
In most cases we see social, environmental, and economic indicators
being used primarily in reporting, with management systems still
driven largely by financial measures. With see-it™, organizations
have to imbed a range of holistic balanced indicators directly
into the core management information hub. Daily actions can then
take your values and vision into account and doing the right thing
becomes second nature. The internal management tool becomes the
external communication tool. Rather than being presented with
a lengthy document detailing what you did a year or more ago,
stakeholders feel like they can take a journey into what you are
doing now to get towards your vision and goals.
How long does it take to build out see-it™?
If you already have a well structured management framework that
links vision to goals to strategic plans to actions or projects,
see-it™ could be launch-ready in as little as two days.
Typically, clients are ready to begin using see-it as their go-to
management information tool and to launch this to all of their
stakeholders via their website in one month or less.
