System for facilitating management and organisational development processes

Abstract

Business scorecard software provides management with traffic light displays to reflect strategy, objectives and targets. Typically, these systems focus on the Kaplan and Norton Balanced Scorecard and scorecarding of numbers. Search engines, knowledge retrieval systems and web portals use meta data to retrieve relevant information. The current invention provides a way to use the meta data inherent in an enhanced scorecard to enable focussed and efficient search and retrieval based on purpose or intent and thereby to create focussed purposeful web portals. Management expertise is the ability to achieve targets by implementing processes and developing appropriate climate and culture. The current invention provides a way to codify expertise and knowledge in relation to targets, process and culture as Process DNA, so that expertise can be captured and reused on-demand. Benefits include improved synergy across large organisational systems and increased likelihood of web portal users finding resources to support their intentions.

1 . An organizational management system comprising:
 an input device;   a graphical user interface arranged to display, when in use, a scorecard or other representation of information; and   a processor coupled to the input device and the graphical user interface;   wherein the scorecard includes a representation of a plurality of indicators associated with the entity, the processor being responsive to selection from the plurality of indicators of an indicator using the input device so as to provide access to a plurality of selectable discrete elements that constitute a basis upon which a state of the indicator is determined.
