Maximising the benefits of the Balanced Scorecard

In this web seminar, which was presented in association with software firm performancesoft (now Actuate), Gavin Lawrie examines the benefits that can be realised from designing an effective strategic performance management system using the 3rd Generation Balanced Scorecard. Working from real life examples from Europe and the Middle East in both the public and private sectors, the seminar considers why some organisations fail to realise the potential benefits of Balanced Scorecard and look at what other organisations do implement it successfully. The seminar concludes with some suggestions for practical actions to take within your own organisation.

Why do only one third of UK companies realise strategic success?

In a survey of over 200 companies in the Times 1000 it was found that while almost all reported having a 'strategic vision', only one in three reported achieving 'significant strategic success'. This web seminar explores some of the reasons that might explain why so many companies struggle to achieve their strategic vision. It concludes that for many the answer lies in the quality of the strategic management processes used. The web seminar was itself based on an earlier 2GC working paper with the same title.
