Steer Overview
The Steer module is your organization’s command center for monitoring strategic performance. While the Act module focuses on executing individual actions, Steer gives you a bird’s-eye view across all plans and committees — tracking KPIs, visualizing action hierarchies, and measuring progress toward strategic goals.
Steer vs. Act
These two modules serve complementary but distinct purposes:
| Aspect | Act | Steer |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Execute actions | Monitor performance |
| Scope | Individual actions and meetings | Organization-wide oversight |
| Focus | ”What do I need to do today?" | "How is the organization progressing?” |
| Key views | Kanban board, meeting prep | KPI dashboard, actions tree |
| Users | Action owners, meeting participants | Directors, managers, decision-makers |
The Two Tabs
When you open the Steer module, you’ll see two tabs:
The Dashboard tab provides an action-centric view with a Kanban board showing all actions across your plans and committees. Use it to:
- View actions organized by status (Pending, In Progress, Blocked, Completed)
- Drag and drop actions between status columns
- Filter by plan, committee, assignee, or archive status
- Create new actions directly
- Switch between Kanban, table, and calendar views
See Views for details on each view.
The Overview tab gives you two perspectives on strategic progress:
- KPI Dashboard — Summary cards showing indicator counts, average progress, and at-risk indicators, with mini charts grouped by plan
- Actions Tree — Hierarchical view of all actions organized by Plan → Orientation → Objective → Key Result → Action
See KPI Dashboard and Actions Tree for details.
Filtering
The Steer module includes a comprehensive filter bar available across all views:
| Filter | Description |
|---|---|
| Assignee | Filter by assigned user (your name appears first) |
| Plan | Filter by source plan (multi-select) |
| Committee | Filter by originating committee (multi-select) |
| Archive Status | Show active only, archived only, or all actions |
| Search | Real-time keyword search on titles and descriptions |
Active filters display a count badge, and a Clear All button resets everything at once.
Action Details
Click any action in the Steer module to open the action details modal. This provides a complete view of the action including:
- Core info — Title, description, status, priority, completion percentage, due date, assigned user
- Links — Connected objectives, key results, mandates, and source plan/committee
- Comments — Discussion thread for progress updates
- History — Creation date, status changes, and modification timeline
The Strategic Monitoring Cycle
Steer completes the four-module strategic management cycle:
- Plan — Define strategic orientations, objectives, and actions
- Organize — Create committees, schedule meetings, make decisions
- Act — Execute actions, prepare and run meetings
- Steer — Monitor progress, track KPIs, assess performance
