Goalscape Visual Information Management Software
Goalscape is a commercially licensed visual information management software application. First used in Olympic sports, it has a unique patented user interface that displays any information hierarchy as a multi-level pie chart, which improves understanding and engagement.[1][2] For management of any goal-oriented activity, Goalscape puts the core (management) goal at the center, with all the subgoals and tasks grouped around it: their size represents their relative importance, and shading indicates progress. This overview keeps the main goal at the center of attention to maintain intrinsic motivation, and the circular format supports visual prioritization for allocation of limited resources. There is also a Focus feature that filters goals to show what matters most at any point.
Goalscape is the ideal way to implement management methods such as Objectives and Key Results (used by Google[3]), Management by Objectives or Management by Goals (using the Goalscape Method).
It is a cross-platform application that is delivered as a web application that runs on all major web browsers for online access and project collaboration.[4] The latest version, with an updated User experience design and other new features, was released in November 2021.
The Goalscape Goal Map and Software is patented under Patent No. US 9,082,316 B2[5].
