Who Should Attend
This course is recommended for executives, managers, planners and analysts who are seeking the best practical ideas in improving organizational performance, and who want to achieve the highest level of certification – Master Professional Certification – from the Balanced Scorecard Institute.
Course Benefits
This is a hands-on workshop taught by the most senior Institute facilitating consultants, and is designed to enable anyone involved with developing a balanced scorecard system to act as a coordinating change agent/internal consultant to lead and develop a scorecard system. Instructors will work closely with each participant. Participants will learn how to develop balanced scorecards and apply them in their own organisations. Software for planning and performance measurement will be demonstrated to show how information technology can be used to help develop the scorecard system, collect, report, and visualise performance information, and cascade an enterprise scorecard to business and support units, and to teams and individuals. Past participants also have raved about the value they received from working side-by-side with other participants, who come from all over the world and various organisation types. This sharing of practical experience occurs through classroom discussions, through meet-and-greet receptions scheduled during the week, and in some cases through electronic correspondence long after the course has ended. Tuition covers all course materials, as well as continental breakfasts, lunches and refreshments during residency session.
Hands-On Training
For each step of the course, we will use case studies and exercises in small groups to allow each participant to practice facilitation techniques and receive feedback from the instructor. You will work with your colleagues from a wide variety of organisations with different perspectives. You come to the program with an application example from your organisation or from a personal interest area, and you build your scorecard during the class, with expert instructor feedback at each step of the process.
Instructors
The course will be taught by Senior Associates of the Balanced Scorecard Institute. All program instructors have specialised expertise in balanced scorecard training, facilitation and consulting in public, nonprofit, and private-sector organisations.
