Differentiators

Kippy.cloud has a pretty distinct positioning compared to other strategy tools.​
​
1. Strategy + Execution + People in One Platform
Unlike many tools that focus only on strategy definition (OKRs, scorecards) or only on performance dashboards, Kippy combines:
Strategy planning & cascading (mission, vision, objectives, KPIs, OKRs, Balanced Scorecard).
Execution tracking (projects, tasks, initiatives linked to strategy).
People performance (HR appraisals, competencies, 360 reviews, 9-box grids).
This makes it more holistic: one place to connect strategy → operations → people.
2. AI-Powered Strategic Support
Kippy includes AI “Strategy Consultant” features that suggest KPIs/OKRs, help draft strategy frameworks, and even allow you to “chat with your data”.
Most legacy EPM/BPM tools don’t have this kind of AI assistant for strategy creation.
3. Balanced Scorecard & OKRs Natively Supported
Many tools choose either OKRs (modern, tech/startup style) or Balanced Scorecard (corporate/enterprise style).
Kippy supports both out-of-the-box, so organisations can use whichever framework suits them.
4. Ease of Use & Fast Adoption
Cloud-native, clean interface, mobile-friendly.
Praised in user reviews (Capterra average ~4.7/5) for being much easier to set up and use than enterprise BPM/EPM tools.
“Zero-code” approach to integrations and formulas — so strategy teams don’t need heavy IT involvement.
5. Affordability & Mid-Market Fit
Compared to SAP/Oracle/IBM/OneStream, Kippy is positioned as more affordable, faster to deploy, less consultancy-heavy.
Great for SMBs and mid-sized organisations who need proper strategy & KPI alignment but can’t justify a million-dollar EPM project.
6. Integrated HR Appraisals
Unique vs. most BPM/EPM tools: it has built-in performance appraisal features (competencies, 9-box, bell curves).
Bridges the gap between strategic goals and employee evaluations — aligning organisational performance with individual performance.
7. Governance, Audit & Access Control
Despite being lighter than Oracle/SAP, Kippy still offers governance features like role-based access, approval workflows, immutable audit trails, locks, etc.
Many mid-market strategy tools skip this level of governance.
Summary
Kippy.cloud’s USP is being a holistic, AI-powered strategic planning and execution tool that links strategy, KPIs, projects, and people performance in a single, easy-to-use, affordable cloud platform — making it ideal for mid-sized organisations.
