How overarching business strategies are communicated and translated into actions throughout a company can affect the overall outcome and achievement of those goals. In many companies, only a small percentage of the workforce may actually understand the overall company objectives, which can lead to a disjointed and inefficient implementation of the company's business strategies and increase the risk of missing critical business targets.

IBM Workplace for Business Strategy Execution software provides capabilities to align corporate objectives throughout your organization. Your IT department can leverage the software to manage service level agreements. For example, the IT department of a large organization has a "99.95 percent business availability objective." The IT manager needs to track service attainment, connect with multiple groups within the organization and manage the dependencies of reaching this goal. In order for the groups to reach their targets, objectives can be pushed down to responsible parties throughout the organization. Status maps can then be used to determine where problems may arise that would prevent teams from reaching their targets. Scorecards can help identify and track where they are against targets, and issues can be identified before they become serious problems. Information about current business availability can be rolled up from across the organization, providing an overall view of business availability and the availability of the individual components that contribute to it.
