Balanced Scorecard Professional Course
Introduction:
Over the past several decades, organizations have realized that success cannot only be measured in dollars and cents. Intangible assets (like a company’s reputation, the knowledge base created by its employees, and training initiatives) can make up a considerable portion of its wealth. It only makes sense, then, that we need a new tool to help us measure this expanded definition of success.
Enter the balanced scorecard! This tool and its related components will help your organization identify, document, plan, and execute a balanced strategic mission. It will also help your organization evaluate and revise its strategic execution.
The entire range of balanced scorecard topics – organization development, strategic planning and management, objective and strategy mapping, performance measures and target setting, initiative prioritization, automation, and cascading – are all covered in this one-week course
