Strategic planning tools give you ways to connect objectives with initiatives and keep an eye on execution. Compared on strategy maps, objective cascading, initiative tracking and execution dashboards, the options also differ in deployment, free-plan availability, included user limits and paid-from pricing. Those details can help you judge whether the planning structure and level of visibility suit your organization. BSC Designer, Perdoo and Corporater Operational Risk Management are among the products to consider, alongside Planview AdaptiveWork and AchieveIt.
