Components

Initiative

Displays the name of the initiative that drives the objective.

Objective

Displays the name of the objective that is driven by the initiative.

Strength

Use this box to specify whether the strength of the relationship between the objective and initiative is Strong, Moderate, or Weak.

For example, an initiative called "Upgrade Out Of Date Software" might moderately drive an objective called "Improved Employee Productivity".

Proportionality

Use this box to specify whether changes in performance or value in one object are directly proportional (Direct) or inversely proportional (Inverse) to changes in performance or value in the other object.

For example, in a relationship between an objective named Reduce Customer Complaints to 4% and an initiative named Improve Quality Control, the proportionality would be inverse because improvements in quality control should result in lower numbers of customer complaints.
