Scorecarding communicates where you are, and how you are doing. It focuses your organization on the decisions that matter most.

Cognos Metrics Manager lets companies model plans or strategies as a set of inter-connected performance indicators. This can communicate goal-driven metrics to thousands of employees across your organization.

These metrics can be easily monitored and understood by everyone. Employees can see how their decisions and actions affect the overall strategy. They have the information that connects strategic priorities to their own priorities—the basis for their accountability.
