Align Operations with Corporate Strategy

Corporate strategy begins with understanding all aspects of your business. Once you create your strategic plans, you want to ensure successful execution by defining the goals and metrics up-front, aligning the resources to meet the objectives, and clearly communicating throughout the process what is needed to achieve success. In addition, if changes are made to the plan, those changes need to be communicated throughout the organization, so that those responsible for influencing the business on a daily basis can adjust their plans. Oracle’s integrated solution lets you define metrics that reflect your strategy, and set target values for these shared metrics. Scorecards expose the status of key business drivers by establishing the cause-effect relationships between metrics. Tolerance levels can be set for each metric to enable automatic notification of deviations. Oracle’s planning and budgeting capabilities let you formulate top down and bottom up operating plans and budgets, ensuring alignment with corporate strategy. Oracle delivers well-defined business processes to assist in this effort, and those processes include business rules, roles and schedules, all of which allow you to make more timely decisions and increase the accountability behind
