Method-centered programs
These programs are defined by a method, such as a cascading logic, a routine for outcome definition & execution, or project management standards.
Strategy implementation
Strategy becomes actionable by being elaborated per market, product, function etc. during cascading. This process requires iterative engagement at all levels. All too often, cascading tears off, and as a result, strategy execution stops or remains incomplete.
ChangeMaker ensures seamless cascading of strategic initiatives towards execution. This is achieved by making initiatives specific, relevant and actionable at each level. Management has full visibility of process and outcomes.

OKR
OKRs are a value enhancement method that places business objectives and results under time and form constraints. End product orientation and orchestrated action are required as objectives are defined, cascaded, and translated into measurable results and tasks.
ChangeMaker orchestrates the OKR cycles, guides all levels through objective and key result definition, tracks progress within-cycle and provides management with real-time status information.

Performance management
All too often, performance management is ineffective because targets are not attended to in the long period between agreement and review. Typically, there is no management process to make targets actionable, and new priorities begin to compete for attention.
ChangeMaker drives implementation focus through development of specific milestones and tasks. Notifications and reminders help to redirect attention to targets. Management can monitor progress throughout the year, so there are no unpleasant surprises at review.

Project management
Concerted, determined action across sites and functions is one of the greatest sources of rapid value creation. Yet, this source is painfully underutilized: In most companies, there are no mechanisms in place for coordinating actions at scale.
ChangeMaker is the ideal platform to drive coordinated action at scale. Its visual tree structure relates targets, topics and teams. Progress is visualized from all relevant perspectives, e.g., by project, by site, by lever.
