The new year is well underway, and by now, your company has likely wrapped up its executive offsite and is diving into setting goals for the year ahead.

Now that you're in full swing, how can you ensure that your plan will be followed? How can you track progress towards the most important outcomes? And most importantly, how can you ensure that every member of your team knows their responsibilities and how to provide updates?

We're thrilled to introduce new features designed to help your team drive outcomes and collaborate more effectively. These tools will empower your company to identify potential challenges before they escalate into costly setbacks.

The objective detail page in Elate will now allow your team to create and visualize differentiated key results in one view, driving the team closer to measuring with outcomes that matter most.

Measuring an objective with an outcome will allow your team to monitor the business metrics you are trying to change or improve. Example Outcomes include:

When measuring an Outcome, there are 3 available graph types to leverage: Bar Graph, Area Graph, and Line Graph).

To add a new outcome, click on the “+ Add Outcome” button in the right corner.

Within Objectives, there is often tactical work that must be accomplished to move closer to your outcome. Examples of Tactics include:

Tactics within Elate are measured on a progress bar, which can be measured numerically. These are measured on a 0-100% complete.

To add a new Tactic, please click on the “+ Add Tactic” button in the lower Tactic section of the page.

If your package includes “Tactics Pro” you will now see the “Actions” tab on the top of the page.

This “Actions” tab, formerly the “Tactics” tab, allows you to see all upcoming next steps, blockers, and due dates for each tactic in one view.

In addition to the updated Objective Detail Page, your team will now have access to see how your outcomes are affected by the execution of your entire plan through Elate’s Outcomes Library which can be found on the Plan Execution table.

To navigate to the Outcomes Library, please head to the Plan Execution tab to find the “Outcomes” tab on the top section of the page.

The Outcome Library will house all outcomes throughout the account that are available to a given user, providing the ability to:

To add an owner(s) to an individual outcome, click on the respective outcome from the Outcome Library and add the appropriate owners from the right-hand panel.

In the example above, any user with a Team Role of Team Owner or Team Member on the Sales team will be able to edit the outcome, along with Leslie Knope.

In addition, outcomes within your account will now have an “Analyze” button. This button will take you to the Outcome Overview screen to see more detailed information.
