Tutorials & Getting Started Guides

Recognizing that the first steps are often the hardest, ClearPoint has introduced several comprehensive tutorials designed to help new users hit the ground running. These tutorials cover everything from the basics of setting up a scorecard to more advanced features, ensuring that users can quickly become proficient in the platform.

Centralized Management

This consolidation means less time spent navigating between different parts of the software, and more time analyzing and refining your strategy. The platform enables users to generate real-time executive summaries and reports quickly and efficiently, facilitating high-level overviews and detailed insights into performance metrics.

Milestone Management

Managing milestones is now more intuitive with the ability to reorder them via drag-and-drop. Moreover, the platform can suggest new AI-powered milestones, helping teams to stay on track and adapt to changing circumstances without missing a beat.

Drag and Drop Linkages

ClearPoint has made it easier than ever to visualize and manage the relationships between different elements of your strategy. With the new drag-and-drop linkages, users can quickly connect objectives, measures, initiatives, and more, creating a dynamic map of their strategy's interdependencies.

Objectives and Key Results (OKRs)

Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) are crucial for tracking progress, and ClearPoint's new feature allows users to view these links directly on an enterprise or department detail page. This provides a clear, immediate understanding of how individual actions contribute to broader strategic goals. This includes integration of OKRs directly from an objective or a measure page, and advanced functionalities for conducting scorecard analyses.

Managing Your Strategy

The platform has been tailored to support different roles within an organization, enabling a more targeted approach to strategy management and ensuring that every team member can contribute effectively using the tool's functionalities.

Discussions and @Mentions

Communication is key in strategic management, and ClearPoint's new discussion and mention features ensure that conversations can happen seamlessly within the context of the strategy elements they pertain to. This keeps cross-functional teams aligned and informed in the tools they work in most, such as email and Microsoft Teams.

Teams Integration

ClearPoint now integrates with Microsoft Teams, allowing for better collaboration. Users can discuss and manage their strategic elements without ever leaving the Teams environment, fostering a more connected and productive workspace.
