Program Professional Framework
Certificate in Strategy Management and Balanced Scorecard
Program Overview
Many strategies fail in execution because objectives, measures and initiatives are never connected. The programme covers the full strategy management cycle using the Balanced Scorecard developed by Kaplan and Norton: clarifying mission and strategic themes, building a strategy map across financial, customer, internal process and learning and growth perspectives, selecting measures and targets, and funding strategic initiatives. Participants also design the review routines that keep execution on track, with reference to how Gulf government entities cascade national strategies and how corporations align plans with national visions.
