• provide the interface for defining a metric for tracking a progress of the organization towards reaching the goal using the procedure;
• receive metric data from an external source, the metric data corresponding to the metric;
• track the progress of the organization towards reaching the goal using at least the metric and the metric data;
• and
• display the progress of the organization towards reaching the goal.
