Curious about what makes Elate different? Our team. 🚀 Plenty of vendors talk about "partnership," but nobody comes alongside their customers quite like we do. Our software drives your organization from point A to B, and our team is there every step of the way—supporting, problem-solving, and celebrating wins together. 💙

We get this question all the time: “Who should have access to Elate?” Well, it’s tied into the culture of your company around visibility. The most successful organizations bring strategy to life across all levels—but this doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a phased approach that starts with leadership alignment and buy-in. Here’s how to get it right: 1️⃣ Begin with a solid foundation: Leadership needs to fully grasp the framework, operating rhythm, mission, vision, and metrics. Once that’s in place, these fundamentals can cascade to VPs, directors, managers, and ultimately, every team member. 2️⃣ Avoid “false starts” by answering the ‘why’: Many initiatives fail because teams don’t see the value in new tools or processes. Make sure the “why” is front and center from day one, showing how it empowers both the organization and each individual. Without the “why,” success is unlikely. With it? Your entire team is aligned and ready to thrive.

As a Chief of Staff, have you ever spent hours digging through your strategy, only to miss critical risks until it’s too late? ⬇️ 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲. 🤹🏼 Chiefs of Staff and Strategy Leaders often juggle scattered spreadsheets, slide decks, and emails, trying to connect the dots on what’s working and what’s falling behind. 💡 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴: surfacing risks shouldn’t feel like a last-minute scramble at the end of the quarter.

We don’t tell you where to go—we just show you how to get there. 📍 You’ve mapped out your end destination for the year, but once the journey begins, things inevitably change. No plan looks the same from start to finish. Think of Insights as the Waze for your strategic plan. As internal and external dynamics shift, Insights reroutes your strategy—keeping you on the most efficient path to reach your goals, no matter what obstacles arise along the way.

Why did we build Insights? Strategy and operations leaders face a significant challenge in identifying potential risks and blockers within their strategy before they become costly setbacks. 💢 Organizations build these large, complex plans—often scattered across spreadsheets, slide decks, and word docs that quickly become outdated. ⌛ This fragmentation makes it nearly impossible to dive into your plan and spot areas of weakness.  Where do you even start? 🤔 And how can you make sense of information that hasn’t been updated in… how long? This results in a reactive approach to strategy execution. What was once a manageable risk has become an off-track objective—a costly setback that could have been avoided but now demands time and resources to correct. This ⤴️ is why we built Insights. To identify these bends before they become breaks. With Insights, you’ll experience a healthier, more connected strategy. It’s a powerful feature that boosts your success rate and empowers you to go further, faster. That’s the power of Insights.
