Take Control of Your Strategic Objectives
Define, Monitor, and Action Your Business Objectives — All in One Place
Managing Objectives and Monitoring Risk
With Symbiant’s Business Objectives Software Module, you can manage your objectives effectively and efficiently.
You can set an Objective Appetite to define the acceptable level of risks for each objective. The module highlights any risks that exceed this appetite, so you can take action early and avoid objective failure.
You can also monitor the impact of risks on your objectives in real time, identifying where controls are weak or underperforming.
Business Objectives can be linked to various modules within your system. The most commonly used modules include:
However, you can connect objectives to any module you choose, giving you a bespoke, fully integrated solution. This setup allows you to view all related modules in one place and output comprehensive reports covering linked risks, controls, and assessments.
Reviews, Actions, and Automated Communication
The Reviews and Actions tab lets you log key updates and assign tasks to specific users.
Actions are tracked through to completion, with each task tied to a responsible owner.
Automated email notices notify users of their assignments, and reminders are sent if deadlines are missed. Assignees can add progress updates, attach files, and once completed, mark the action as implemented, automatically notifying all parties involved.
