Patent ID: 7729934

Claim:
At least one computer readable storage medium storing embedded program code which, when executed by a processor, performs a computer implemented method for mapping an overall direction of an organization, the computer implemented method comprising: maintaining a plurality of projects and a plurality of tactics on a computer readable storage medium, wherein each of the plurality of tactics is implemented by one or more of the plurality of projects to fulfill an organizational goal of the organization; mapping, with a mapping component executed by a processor, each of the plurality of projects to one or more of the plurality of tactics to create a strategic intent map, wherein at least one of the plurality of projects is mapped to more than one of the plurality of tactics, wherein the strategic intent map identifies and hierarchically interrelates the organizational goal with the plurality of tactics that support the organizational goal and each of the plurality of tactics with the mapped one or more of the plurality of projects; assigning, with a fulfillment component executed by a processor, for each of the plurality of projects, a tactic fulfillment percentage of each tactic of the plurality of tactics to which each of the plurality of projects is mapped, wherein the tactic fulfillment percentage is a percentage of a tactic that is achieved by a project mapped to the tactic; summing, with the fulfillment component, for each tactic of the plurality of tactics, the tactic fulfillment percentage assigned to the tactic for all of the plurality of projects that are mapped to the tactic to generate a summed fulfillment percentage of the tactic, wherein the computer readable storage medium is further configured to store the tactic fulfillment percentage of each of the plurality of projects mapped to the one or more of the plurality of tactics and the summed fulfillment percentage of each of the plurality of tactics; and displaying on a computer display, with a reporting component, the strategic intent map, the summed fulfillment percentage of each of the plurality of tactics, and for each of the plurality of projects, the tactic fulfillment percentage of each tactic to which each of the plurality of projects is mapped.
