Strategic Planning
Using the Balanced Scorecard

Seminar Overview

How do you turn your organization's strategy into reality to drive real business improvement? How do you engage and align your people to all pull in the same direction? How can you be sure that you are making progress every day towards achieving your strategic goals?

The answer to these questions is to create, implement and oversee a Balanced Scorecard that touches every aspect of your Organization; a scorecard that translates your strategy into specific actions with measures that allow to continuously monitor progress and take corrective action where necessary. Like the pilot of an aircraft, the Balanced Scorecard allows you to manoeuver your organization using a variety of controls to ensure you simultaneously achieve your financial, customer, process and employee goals, and triggers amber and red 'warning lights ' so you can take action where things are not progressing as you intend.
