Five years ago, Gexcon had an inconsistent set reporting processes and a requirement to create a business strategy using an industry standard approach. Their aim was to align each of the local country businesses to an overall Gexcon business strategy and provide tools to simplify and coordinate centralized reporting.
After reviewing several strategic approaches, Gexcon decided that the Balanced Scorecard methodology would provide them with a framework to build a successful strategy. Gexcon engaged Intrafocus to facilitate a three-day Balanced Scorecard workshop with their executive team and country managers. Sturle Pedersen, CEO at the time said:
“The three-day course was very helpful for supporting our senior management team to better understand the strategic process and how to coordinate corporate and departmental strategies, initiatives and priorities.”
Gexcon is rolling out the process and tools across the world. The United Kingdom organisation has acted as an evangelist and embraced both the process and the technology to great effect. Using the Spider Impact by Spider Strategies application has simplified their reporting process freeing time for their consultants to do what they should be doing, engaging with clients.
The initial workshop five years ago was well received and created a momentum within Gexcon to continue using a Balanced Scorecard strategic approach underpinned by Spider Impact strategy and KPI management software.
Five years on, Gexcon is still using Spider Impact to both monitor strategic output and local country Key Performance Indicators. In the United Kingdom, Gexcon growth has been spectacular. Dave Price, UK President of Gexcon said:
“Gexcon UK has been using Spider Impact religiously for 5 years. With around 20% growth per annum, you can conclude that the Balanced Scorecard and the Spider Impact tool has certainly helped me achieve this consistently positive result.”
... the Spider Impact tool has certainly helped me achieve this consistently positive result.
Over time, Gexcon has been able to simplify its reporting by adding more and more information to the tool and by using the new functionality, especially enhanced dashboards, that became available in the later Spider Impact releases.
