Running a programme with a variety of stakeholders: how do you keep track of your progress and effects?
The Dutch city of Veenendaal has initiated three programmes for which a range of different provinces, institutions and companies contribute time and money. These programmes are:
Using the Bizaline software, they've been tracking their efforts and results since 2017 through a digital Goal Tree.
The Bizaline software can send automated progress update requests through a simple e-mail template. Stakeholders can also upload Excel templates to update multiple KPIs at once.
This way, all stakeholders can indicate how many hours and which funds were invested over the course of a month or quarter and what the realised results and effects are. The software is cloud-based, so anyone with the necessary access rights can print up-to-date (bespoke) reports.
Veenendaal has access to the history of all edits in the software and maintains a completely auditable trail.
Currently, most of our clients - just like Veenendaal - prefer flexible bespoke reporting through Excel templates in the Bizaline software.
The costs of this application start at €1200 per year.
