What Happens in a ClearPoint Strategy Evaluation?

Embarking on a journey with a new software can feel overwhelming. With ClearPoint Strategy, the aim is to make the transition smooth and efficient. One of the most crucial steps in this process is the ClearPoint Strategy Evaluation during the onboarding phase. Here, we'll break down what it entails and how it sets organizations up for success in our software.

1. Kickoff Call: Setting the Stage

The kickoff call is the inaugural step in the ClearPoint Strategy Evaluation. This call has several objectives:

Goal Setting

Before diving in, it's essential to identify and align on the specific goals you aim to achieve with ClearPoint. This provides a clear roadmap for the implementation process.

What to Expect in Onboarding

To alleviate any concerns or anxieties, the team will lay out the entire onboarding process. This will give you a bird's-eye view of the journey ahead.

Information Session

This call isn't just about us talking. It's an informational session for the customer, ensuring you have all your questions answered and are comfortable with the steps moving forward.

2. Document Review: Structuring Your Strategy

Understanding your strategic goals is crucial. The next step involves:

Sharing Strategic Documentation

We request clients to send over any strategy documents, which might include plans, reports, objectives, or any content they'd want to visualize within ClearPoint.

Deep-Diving with Questions

To tailor the implementation, we'll need answers to several key questions concerning:

• Organizational Structure
• Informational Architecture
• Key Focus Areas
• Departments Involved
• Owners Responsible for Reporting

Walking Through Together

While we do review these documents beforehand, we'll also ask you to walk us through them. This helps in ensuring mutual understanding and capturing the nuances of your strategy.

Structuring for ClearPoint

Based on the information provided, our team will format this data into an Excel file. This formatted file is then ready for upload into your ClearPoint account. If there are any missing components, such as measures or owners, we'll collaborate to fill in the gaps. The idea is to structure your data (supplemented by our feedback) for seamless integration into our tool.

3. Internal Configuration: Making ClearPoint Your Own

Once your strategic data is prepared, the focus shifts to internal software configurations:

Setting Up Reports

Depending on your requirements, various reports will be set up within the tool to ensure you have the insights you need at your fingertips.

Linking Information

To avoid any data silos, we ensure that all information is interconnected as required.

Back-End Work

Our team rolls up its sleeves to ensure that all configurations, setups, and linkages are done right in the back-end.

Collaborative Review

After the initial setup, we'll meet to review everything. Any necessary changes are made until you're ready to sign off on the implementation. The timeline for the process generally involves the document review within the first week, followed by a 2-3 week period for setup, import, and back-end changes. Another touchpoint is scheduled a month later for any additional adjustments.

4. Account Sign Off: Ready to Roll

The culmination of the ClearPoint Strategy Audit is the account sign off, which typically occurs around 60-90 days in. By this time, your ClearPoint account should be tailored to your needs, ready to assist in driving your strategic success!
