Investing in Change ......Preparing for a Competitive Advantage

CEO's and senior executives' initiate change programmes due to the expected strategic and financial gains. Yet the number of initiatives that fail to realise their promised benefits are so prevalent that the ability to successfully implement change has become a key determinant of corporate success.

Implementation of the Balanced Scorecard presents a great risk. Despite its widespread recognition across BRW 500 companies, few scorecard initiatives have been implemented in a sustainable way and it is rare to find effective strategic navigation and execution systems.

Reducing the risks of Balanced Scorecard implementation

There are 5 main risks associated with a scorecard implementation.

- The implementation plan does not consider the full range of roll out and people issues. - Scorecard design fails to harness the power of the four underlying principles of the Balanced scorecard - Commitment and discipline toward regular review of scorecards is not sustained - Silent killers including leadership, communication and cultural issues undermine support and ‘buy in’ - The scorecard is not effectively integrated into existing management controls and systems

About the program

This program will provide you with a comprehensive tool kit and step by step processes with which to implement the Balanced Scorecard and overcome the common risks and causes of failure.

You will receive highly focussed and intensive training. The content will examine a balance of the technical aspect of scorecard methodology and use, as well as skills and considerations in facilitating and leading a broader implementation programme.

Style and format
