Course Details


This 5 day course is an intensive amalgamation of courses Course 301 (Introduction to the Balanced Scorecard) and Course 401 (Advanced Balanced Scorecard). The course is followed by a one hour multiple choice examination to achieve Level One certification.


Overview


Beginning with the foundational Nine-Step process covered in the Part 1 course and then continuing into the real life nuances and complications addressed in the Part 2 course, this course covers the entire range of balanced scorecard topics – organization development, change management and communications planning, strategic planning, objectives and strategy mapping, performance measures and target setting, strategic initiative prioritization, automation, cascading, and strategic management – in one week. Fully consistent with basic balanced scorecard concepts & terminology developed by Kaplan & Norton, the course covers scorecard development in business, government, and non-profit organizations. Participants get hands-on practice using a simple, step-by-step process for developing a scorecard system on their own.
