[Organizational Excellence](https://blog.inspiresoftware.com/topic/organizational-excellence) [Continuous Performance](https://blog.inspiresoftware.com/topic/continuous-performance) [Strategic Execution](https://blog.inspiresoftware.com/topic/strategic-execution) ### [Jason Diamond Arnold](https://blog.inspiresoftware.com/author/jason-arnold) June 11, 2025 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) **What Critical Strategy Data Are You Missing?   ** For many executive teams, the problem isn’t strategy creation — it’s that **they’re tracking the wrong data, too infrequently, and in the wrong format**.  As Microsoft Viva Goals sunsets in 2025, you have an opportunity to stop settling for static OKR tools and start using a platform that delivers **real-time strategy intelligence.** This kind lets you lead, adapt, and win.  If your current system isn’t giving you the insight to **course-correct**, **coach** in the moment, and **make smarter strategy decisions**, you’re not just missing data. You’re missing the competitive advantage.  Here’s the Strategic Intelligence You’re Likely Missing Without Inspire   *1. Strategic Alignment Across Teams* Only 16% of employees report that their goals are aligned with the company's strategy (Harvard Business Review). Inspire’s cascading OKRs provide leaders with real-time visibility into what matters — and who is aligned. Spot disconnects before they derail performance.  *2. Cold Key Results or KPIs + Warm People Data in Real Time * Most platforms give you numbers or narratives. Inspire gives you both:  - **Cold data**: Goal status, progress %, confidence scores  - **Warm data**: One-to-one insights, team check-ins, conversations, feedback, recognition, wins, setbacks, and success stories  This isn’t just data. It’s **Strategy in Action** — helping you cultivate and use rich data to adapt in real-time, not just at quarter’s end. *3. Behavior-Driven Dashboards for Strategic Monitoring * Inspire's dashboards aren’t just about KPIs — they track **leadership behaviors, alignment patterns, and execution rhythm**.  Unlike legacy tools, Inspire:   - Visualizes performance against strategy  - Connects goals to people, culture, and behaviors  - Generates export-ready narratives for Quarterly Business Reviews in seconds  This is what strategic monitoring looks like when it’s done right — continuous, contextual, and decision-ready.  Strategy Is More Than Goals. It's About Execution Intelligence.  If you’re still using spreadsheets or generic OKR tools that only produce cold data, you’re missing the most crucial piece of the strategy puzzle:  **Timely, actionable data** that tells you not just where you’re going, but where you’re off track, why your strategy is where it is, and how to stay on course by executing your strategy flawlessly.  With Inspire, our clients:  - Complete **2x the number of OKRs**  - See a **30% boost in employee engagement**  - Reduce review cycles and **speed up execution**  - Track **strategy analytics that guide pivots, before performance lags**  **Are You Leading with Data — or Leading Blind?**  [**Inspire’s Strategy Assessment**](https://inspiresoftware.outgrow.us/inspiresoftware-strategy-assessment?utm_campaign=Competitor&utm_medium=ppc&utm_source=adwords&utm_term=viva%20goals%20alternatives) gives you a real-time snapshot of your organization's ability to:  Take 5 minutes to get your **Strategy Execution Score** — and discover where your organization is strong, and where hidden gaps are undermining your results.  **\[**[**Start Your Free Strategy Assessment Now**](https://inspiresoftware.outgrow.us/inspiresoftware-strategy-assessment?utm_campaign=Competitor&utm_medium=ppc&utm_source=adwords&utm_term=viva%20goals%20alternatives)**\]**  ## You'll Love These Posts Too [How AI Helps Executive Leaders Visualize And Communicate Strategy](https://blog.inspiresoftware.com/how-ai-helps-executive-leaders-visualize-and-communicate-strategy) How AI Helps Executive Leaders Visualize and Communicate Strategy Why visualization is the most under-leveraged executive skill of the AI era — and how leaders can ...
