Goalscape is a commercially licensed visual information management software application.

It is a cross-platform application developed in Adobe Flex and uses Adobe AIR to run on Windows, macOS and some other operating systems that support Adobe AIR. It is also provided as a web application that runs on all major web browsers for online access and project collaboration.[1]

Origin

He developed the Goalscape multi-level pie chart format to visualize and communicate the goal structure and to manage all the necessary action plans and training sessions.
