In 2016, Plain Selling implemented Alliance MyObjectives, a Performance and Goal Management application from vendor Alliance Enterprises, to centralize goal setting and support business planning and employee engagement.

Alliance MyObjectives was configured to manage objective setting, tracking, and alignment workflows, with emphasis on integrating objectives into formal business planning cycles. Configuration work focused on objective alignment and manager review processes, and the rollout included targeted training sessions to embed goal discipline and increase employee engagement.

At dBx, Director Susan Witterick used Alliance MyObjectives to align project level tasks with organizational priorities, and Binary Box completed workshops and training and was operational within two weeks.
Operational coverage during the UK activity included small professional services and creative firms, specifically Plain Selling, Accountancy Place, Parcel Partners, dBx Acoustics, and Binary Box, with implementations tied into each firm’s business planning process.
