Making Strategy Work – The Balanced Scorecard Way

 

“Formulating strategy is one thing. Executing it throughout the entire organisation… well, that’s the really hard part.” – Lawrence G. Hrebiniak

                                                         

Having problems in translating your business strategy into actions, and eventually, expected results? Do you feel that the traditional financial measures are inadequate for guiding and evaluating your organisation’s performance in this information age? You are right! Navigating through such a competitive, technological and capacity-driven environment cannot be accomplished merely by monitoring and controlling financial measures of past performance. It has to include your organisation’s intangible and intellectual assets, such as customer loyalty, process capabilities, employee knowledge and skills, information systems and databases.

 

This unique programme, based on Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton’s Balanced Scorecard (BSC) concepts and practices, provides you with the hands-on “How To” of building a BSC, which translates your business strategy into measurable actions and hence desired results for your organisation. You will be able to learn how to develop a BSC strategy map by incorporating various key elements, namely, strategic objectives, measures, targets and initiatives.

 

Whether you are about to embark on a BSC initiative, or in the midst of a struggling BSC effort, you will able to learn from this programme the best practices of developing a BSC, which is vitally important for your organisation’s success as well as your own success.
