 Learning Objectives

Why do we organize this seminar ?

Originally published in 1992, Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton introduced the Balanced Scorecard as a way to measure how companies are meeting their objectives and implementing their strategy. Both the Balanced Scorecard methodology and how companies nowadays start to define, implement and automate so called KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), scorecards and dashboards, have changed a lot over time.

This seminar focuses on explaining the concepts of Scorecards & Dashboards, their complementarities and differences, the use of metrics & KPIs, how to automate Scorecard & Dashboards, the importance of linking this to existing business intelligence & data warehousing architecture and the vendors offering solutions in this area. This seminar explains in-depth what the Balanced Scorecard is all about and how it has evolved over time.

What questions will be answered?

• What are Scorecards & Dashboards ?
• What methodologies exist to structure management information ?
• How to develop and use the correct KPIs to ensure that all of an organization's resources and efforts are focused on achieving its business strategy ?
