Strategic Planning Using the Balanced Scorecard

Course Overview

Strategic Planning presents a unique challenge to most organisations today, whether they are private, public, or non-profit entities. Many of the concepts and techniques that deal with strategic planning have been developed and used successfully by the most prominent business organisations in the world as well as the newest startups. One of the most critical drivers of business success is a leader’s ability to design and implement a strategy for the company. The Balanced Scorecard enables companies to better align their organisational structure with strategic objectives. In order to execute a plan well, organisations need to ensure that all business units and support functions are working towards the same goals. It’s a mechanism that helps the management track down the organisation’s performance and can be used as a management strategy.

This 5-day interactive Strategic Planning using the Balanced Scorecard training course has been specifically designed to provide a solid understanding of strategic planning and organisational excellence and how the organisational excellence model provides a collection of best management practices by using Balanced Scorecard for each key management area. A good example (governance, leadership, planning, customers, employees, work processes, suppliers and partners, resource management, and performance measurement) is evaluating organisations’ existing performance management systems. Also, identify the significant issues and challenges affecting the performance system’s implementation.
