Strategy Execution Software
Strategy Maps, Dashboards, Scorecards, KPIs & Alerts
Watershed is web-based software which helps businesses to measure and communicate what they are doing, discover their successes, and focus their efforts on doing more of what works to achieve specific business goals.
Watershed uses a combination of software and expert consultants to ensure that all levels of an organization are engaged in and executing the same unified strategy. Watershed uses online scorecards, email alerts and reporting to increase the success of performance management systems such as the Balanced Scorecard, Lean and Six Sigma by extending their reach to all employees and by reducing the time and effort needed to implement and sustain these systems.

How does it work?
Every business leader has set goals. What distinguishes the great ones… and their organizations… is how well they execute their plans. But doing that job well is subject to several potential roadblocks. How do you set goals effectively? How do you ensure your employees’ and stakeholders understand your strategy? How do you focus your employees efforts in the right direction? How do you discover successes and repeat them? Finally, and perhaps most importantly, how do you discover problems in time to correct them?
The service incorporates best practices and expert advice to guide businesses through those roadblocks. All you need to use Watershed is a web browser and a broadband Internet connection.
Watershed is better than paper-based systems, Excel-based scorecards and other software for two essential reasons:
- Full Engagement: Your strategy’s success depends on creating a single source of truth, that one place where all stakeholders go to figure out where the business is heading and how they can do their part. So why ration your strategy software? We’ve eliminated obstacles in design, pricing and training to help you along. All your people get access at the same cost.
- Hands-free Insight: You need to know what your business is doing right. And when things go wrong, you want to know right away. We’ve provided the tools to monitor your performance at a glance: without clutter, macros, complex reporting or advanced statistics to worry about.
