Our objective is to help our customers improve themselves and deliver better results for their teams and organizations. Our approach is to simplify the process of creating performance tracking applications, and make it easy to compare results and learn from others, more. In addition, we seek to create a rich and expanding network of consultants and organizations willing to share their hard-earned knowledge. As we grow, we will continue to enhance this site to enable our customers and visitors to improve performance, adopt effective performance-tracking systems, and share best practices.
I’ve spent over 25 years in the computer business, starting as a contract technical writer packing around my Osborne computer (whew - that was a long time ago). Then at Hewlett-Packard as a product manager, account manager, and program manager and later as a consultant. Before that, I worked in the oil exploration business.
Measures and progress tracking have been a part of every project I worked on. Yet everywhere I’ve been, I have seen people and teams struggle to put together simple measurement and tracking tools. There seemed to be a big gap between the tracking you could get from process-oriented business applications and the spreadsheets and power point slides most teams were using to show progress against their individual objectives.
Regardless of their complexity, the big systems just didn’t capture the information that was important to people because they were all based on past history and transactions. The status spreadsheets folks created instead, which often looked at leading indicators, couldn’t provide meaningful comparative information.
And as I started working on tracking tools for business alliances, I discovered that the core of the tools I built were general purpose, and could be used in almost any business or self-improvement program. So I’ve made Web Scorecard available to everyone. I hope you like it – and that it helps you do what you love better. Contact me at al@www.web-scorecard.com
