Isn’t this step important in the strategy?

Rather than sign up for a number, a revenue target which marketing commits to deliver, we use terms like “marketing qualified leads, amplification, and engagement” to describe our key goals. No surprise when the rest of the company doesn’t understand what we do, and how we spend our money. Focusing on company goals like revenue can help fix this.

Interesting idea! I’ll be happy to formalize some thoughts about that topic. I’ll contact you the next week with some results.

Thank you for a nice review! I have a question – what software tool do you use for mapping strategic objectives? Have you look at our BSC Designer it supports Balanced Scorecard approach.
