About the Course
Performance Management
e key to unlock the true potential of your organisation
A Fortune article called "Why CEOs Fail" observed that CEOs fail because they are unable to effectively execute their strategy
(however good or bad the strategy is). Such failure is common - another study found that only one in three UK businesses believe they are successfully achieving their strategic goals. Having a good strategy is important, but the
key to strategic success is also being able to put the plan into action and ensure its effective delivery.
Performance Management methods help organisations to more effectively manage the delivery of strategic plans.
Balanced Scorecard
It is now over 15 years since the Balanced Scorecard framework first gained public acceptance. Since then tens of thousands of public and private sector organisations have adopted it as a performance management tool. Over this time major improvements have been made to the approach: modern 3rd Generation Balanced Scorecards are simpler and quicker to develop, and better to use. Recent advances have made it easier to use Balanced Scorecard to promote organisational alignment, and to link Balanced Scorecard to other management tools dealing with things such as Risk, Quality and Incentives.
Obtain an understanding of effective performance management using 3rd Generation Balanced ScorecardLearn practical "tips of the trade" that will enhance your ability to design effective 3rd Generation Balanced Scorecards within your organisationTest your understanding and practice new skills as you build a "case study" 3rd Generation Balanced Scorecard
