Balanced Scorecard Professional Certification Program
Whether you are seeking an advanced degree, professional development, or the expertise to increase your advancement potential, this program will help you meet your personal goals through improved understanding of how balanced scorecard systems are built, implemented and sustained.
Balanced scorecard systems are becoming the standard strategic performance management system in many organizations and are widely used in business, industry, government, and nonprofit organizations worldwide. This program integrates strategic management, performance measurement, strategic thinking and planning, change management, and strategy mapping into a structured framework for building a strategic management system.
The program, developed by the Balanced Scorecard Institute and The George Washington University College of Professional Studies, includes two levels of certification: Balanced Scorecard Master Professional (BSMP), and Balanced Scorecard Professional (BSP).
This is a comprehensive program leading to balanced scorecard planning and management system implementation. The program is ideal for participants charged with building, implementing, managing, and sustaining balanced scorecard planning and management systems. It was developed for members of internal balanced scorecard teams, for consultants who want to advise clients on how to build, deploy, and sustain scorecard systems and for anyone who wants to incorporate lessons learned and best practices into the development of a strategic management system.
The program is based on the Institute’s Nine Steps to Success (TM) balanced scorecard framework, and expands on other training workshops with additional process substance in each step, more advanced exercises, one-on-one interaction, and additional resource material, software tools and templates.
The program is taught in a highly interactive manner, using lectures, lessons learned, practical examples, case studies, software demonstrations, small-group exercises, a Performance Scorecard Toolkit, software tools and templates, and instructor review of participants' existing scorecards.
