In November of 2007 we gave you an introduction to the birth of GoalTrakTM. One year later, here's where we are:
We have 20 client organizations signed on to GT in either the Enterprise or Mentor version. About 2/3rds of them are actively using the system to enhance performance. The rest of them have apparently fallen victim to what David Byrd of LMI, Inc., in his book “The Tripping Point in Leadership,” calls “apathy”.
Last week we launched our newly designed website (www.goaltrak.com). User experience was the driving force behind this effort. Easy to navigate, timely topics, valuable information and attractive. . . “sticky” as the cognoscenti describe it. Visitors spend more than 10 seconds viewing the information.
We've added several new Consulting Partners, those folks that offer GT as part of their portfolio of solutions to the nagging challenges of managing an organization. We're looking for more. More people who understand that people and their performance make the difference. And that appreciate the value that GT brings to the table.
We're currently in discussion with a sizable mid-west school district to bring the GT's technology/art of goal setting to high school students. The primary focus is to be career planning with mentors and students collaborating in the effort.
Our clients continue to send us innovative suggestions for enhancing the usability and value of GT. We continue to listen and implement those that make good business sense for users and for us. Some of the changes we've made have come from our own experience. Yes, we use the system to set and track our own progress!
The more users we get on the system, the clearer it becomes that investing the time upfront to really think about what you are trying to achieve, saves a lot of grief down the road. Written goals have always been the difference between consistent success and occasional success. Now, it's even easier to get the job done. . . with GoalTrakTM EV and GoalTrakTM CV.
