ClearPoint Strategy: Effortless Management Reporting
Ted Jackson Effective management reporting is critical for the success of organizations around the world. Management reports are used daily to help leadership teams make decisions on key strategic and operational issues. Yet, these very reports are often late, contradictory, or just plain wrong.Why? Because management reporting is a broken process that hasn’t caught up with today’s management technologies. Typically, management reports are compiled by a team that copies and pastes information from a range of business systems, emails, presentations, and other sources. This process is lengthy and error-prone, with significant risks for transcription errors and incorrect data. Version control and data integrity introduce even more communications risks for important leadership presentations.
Because strategic information is not available for timely access, management meetings frequently become debate sessions about the numbers rather than informing crucial decisions. Not only is reporting delayed but the format can be confusing and lack appropriate history for decision making.
ClearPoint was created to solve this problem. ClearPoint is a cloud-based management reporting application that allows organizations to easily produce their strategic, operational, and management reports. With an easy to use, drag-and-drop interface, managers can quickly design new (or replicate existing) management reports. With ClearPoint, organizations can centralize powerful information for reporting. Each individual with reporting responsibility can conveniently access the system to update with current data as it becomes available. Reports no longer wait until the last possible minute because managers and executives can log in at any time to see information, analysis, and recommendations in real time.
Leadership meetings can feel like an expensive waste of time.

Similar to standard office software such as PowerPoint, this system puts the control in the user’s hands with accessible reports that seamlessly integrate qualitative and quantitative data,” says Dylan Miyake, co-Founder of ClearPoint Strategy, and head of ClearPoint’s development team.
