1. An enterprise optimization system comprising:
- a computing device, wherein the computing device is connected to a central server;
the central server, wherein the central server comprises a processor and wherein the processor is configured with software executable instructions to cause the central server to perform operations comprising;
receiving from the computing device a goal;
receiving from the computing device a critical success factor relating to the goal, wherein the critical success factor comprises a task the completion of which is required to achieve a particular goal;
receiving from the computing device an action step and a timeline for completing the action step, wherein the action step comprises a task the completion of which is required to achieve the critical success factor;
receiving from the computing device information relating to the completion of the action step; and
determining a first measure of attainment of the critical success factor and a second measurement of attainment of the goal from the action step completion information.

Abstract
Methods and systems enable enterprises to optimize the performance of an organization or enterprise by linking the goals and the performance of the organization or enterprise. Goals may be set for improving performance. Those goals may then be evaluated using parameters such as critical success factors, key performance indicators, and action plan steps.
