LINKS ENTERPRISE BUSINESS SOLUTIONS L.L.C

Course Overview
This workshop adds depth to our introductory course (301). It uses the same framework, our Nine Steps to SuccessTM methodology, but it delves deeper into the subjects our trainees have been asking for: strategic thinking, practical examples, details on cascading, budgeting, change management, evaluation and other advanced topics. We recommend that people take Course 301 before this course, or have equivalent experience in using the methodology. This course is taught by our most senior staff. Topics covered by the course include:

• An intensive review of the steps to build and implement a balanced scorecard strategic management system
• How to think strategically and avoid getting bogged down in tactical details
• Numerous examples of strategy maps and best practices in developing balanced scorecard systems
• Management tools to support the steps in the methodology
• Small group simulations to understand decision choices
• Balanced scorecard "best practices"
• Advanced concepts in performance measurement
• How to cascade the enterprise scorecard throughout the organization
• The seven levers of change
• Overcoming obstacles and challenges within your organization 
• Evaluating your own organization's planning documents and process
