Overview

How to develop, define, and effectively
use them to measure Business Strategy!

Workshop Details:

The basic concept of “what gets measured gets managed” is widely understood and accepted. And the idea of applying this to the world of strategy management is also well established – at least conceptually.

BUT – experience indicates that organisations consistently struggle with two core aspects of this concept:

• hat are the relevant Strategic KPIs for our organisation??
• What sensible performance targets should we set for the future??

This intensive 2-day programme addresses these two core management challenges and provides a practical and disciplined approach to delivering relevant answers by discussing in depth, how to set KPIs and Balance Scorecard.

Why Attend:

• Participants will learn how to implement KPIs and Balance Scorecard as a Performance Management System for their function.
• Participants will be able to develop actual KPIs for their own role / functional area so that they can start implementing and using them from the very next day they get back to work.
• Participants will be able to convert their own KPIs into a balanced scorecard system so that they can ascertain and report on performance in a manner which is easy to understand by all (regardless of their function).
• Learn how KPIs and balanced scorecard systems was used by real organizations to significantly improve performance in less than 2 years
  A practical exercise based course rather than theory / lecture based
