Establishing alignment is not enough. You need an information system to track progress and ensure that what has been aligned continues to stay aligned. We have developed a highly sophisticated web-based tool to do this. This unique tool, TOPS - The One Page Software, links business indicators to the individuals responsible at the right levels of the organization.

TOPS tracks performance of each individual job in the organization and maintains the history. TOPS can be installed on your central server and linked to your existing data systems to allow electronic transfer of information into its database. Managers only need a connection to the server and a web browser to access the key information they need.

TOPS allows managers to access Focus Reports of people in their pyramid of responsibility. Performance exceptions escalate to the appropriate levels so that they become truly transparent and managers can delegate without losing control.

By having a database of all key performance indicators Tops maintains a personal history of performance for each person and shows how factors from different levels and different areas are linked.

TOPS sustains alignment by helping managers problem solve and follow up commitments to ensure things get done at the right levels. It establishes an effective web of communication throughout the entire organization.
