Goalscape Visual Information Management Software
Goalscape is a commercially licensed visual goal management software application. It is based on a user interface that focuses on a central (management) goal and groups sub-goals and the tasks required to achieve them around this core goal. Goalscape represents data hierarchies as a multi-level pie chart to improve user recognition of the structures.[1][2] From a management point of view, the visual presentation should support the constant focus on the driving goals. Goalscape is particularly suited to facilitate management methods such as Objectives and Key Results (used by Google[3]), Management by Objectives or Management by Goals.
It is a cross-platform application that is provided as a web application that runs on all major web browsers for online access and project collaboration.[4] The newest version with an updated User experience design was released in November 2021.[citation needed]
The Goalscape Goal Map and Software is patented under Patent No. US 9,082,316 B2[5].
