Course Overview

In today's competitive and performance-driven environment, organizations must ensure that strategic objectives are effectively translated into measurable actions that drive sustainable results. Many organizations develop excellent strategic plans but struggle to implement them because they lack an integrated performance management system that aligns organizational goals, departmental activities, employee performance, and resource allocation. The Balanced Scorecard (BSC), developed by Dr. Robert Kaplan and Dr. David Norton, has become one of the world's most widely adopted strategic management frameworks for translating strategy into measurable organizational performance. The Advanced Programme in Balanced Scorecard and Strategy Performance Management equips executives, strategy professionals, and performance managers with the knowledge and practical tools required to design, implement, monitor, and sustain a Balanced Scorecard system that enhances strategic execution and organizational excellence. The programme demonstrates how organizations can integrate financial and non-financial performance measures, align departmental objectives with corporate strategy, develop meaningful Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and create a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
Participants will gain practical experience in designing strategy maps, developing Balanced Scorecards, selecting strategic performance measures, cascading organizational objectives, establishing performance dashboards, and linking strategy to budgeting, performance contracts, and organizational decision-making.
