Nine steps to successfully building and implementing the Balanced Scorecard

A Fortune cover story on why executives fail concluded that the most common reason was their inability to execute strategy. To succeed, strategy must be tested and adapted in a continual process of feedback, learning, and innovation in organisations that are strategy-focused. The BSC puts strategy at the centre of the management process, and through it thousands of organisations have achieved breakthrough performance results.

BUT! IS YOURS ONE OF THEM?

Here's your chance to learn how to implement the Balanced Scorecard using the award winning Nine Steps to Success™. The Balanced Scorecard Institute, a Strategy Management Group company which is based in Washington, USA, helps organisations transform themselves into high-performance, strategy-focused organisations through training, facilitation, coaching, and consulting professional services.
