Performance Measurement: Beyond the Balanced Scorecard

Provider: Cranfield School of ManagementDates and locations: 26-28 October 2005; 14-16 February 2006, Cranfield, UK

This is the programme for those planning to redesign or upgrade their performance measurement system. From design of scorecards to implementation and use of the measures, the programme uses practical tools and techniques which participants can take away and use to manage their own businesses. A key theme underpinning the programme, is that the power of measurement lies in the fact that it allows managers to do much more than simply track progress. By the end of the programme delegates have developed and reviewed personal action plans to improve the measurement systems used in their own organisations.
