Course outline

In an effort to provide you with as much value as possible, we’re going to show you how to deliver the key sections of this training course.

We’ve divided this training course content into 3 key steps.

1. Introduction to strategic measurement and management

People don’t become great at measuring strategic management all on their own.

In truth, many people learn these skills on the job from others.

You need to build trust with your audience to offer more value to them.

To illustrate, your content must go beyond simply “this is strategic management”.

And, this content will meet the following two goals:

• Explore the five tasks of strategic management.
• Outlines how strategic initiative can influence the performance of the organization.

Next, you can use the content to discuss the four primary barriers to implementing a strategy.

To illustrate:

1. Visions and strategies that are not actionable.
2. Strategies not linked to departmental, team, and individual goals.
3. Strategies not linked to long and short- term resource allocation.
4. Feedback that is tactical, not strategic.

The course content, supported by examples, will link these key aspects together.

2. What we need to guide the business

There are many factors that can help guide a business.

But, at the end of the day, running a successful company is not just about managing a strategic plan.

It’s about measuring that plan so as to ensure success.

For best results, use the content provided to examine strategic management and strategic implementation.

This will help your audience to appreciate that strategic enterprise management is dependent upon four basic principles:

1. A continuous process.
2. Everyone’s job.
3. Leadership is apparent.
4. Knowledge networks are active.

Include industry-specific examples that your audience will relate to.

As a heads up, use the content to highlight key success factors (e.g., metrics, how to gather information) that will increase the skills of your audience.

3. Introducing the Balanced Scorecard (BSC)

Here’s where it gets even more interesting.

In this section of the course, use the content to introduce:

• The BSC value chain.
• Perspectives.
• Cause and effect.
• Enterprise management.
• Themes.
• Cascading.
• OMTI grids.
• Strategic measurement and control.

Aim to create an atmosphere that builds trust as it shows you’re offering solutions to the needs of your audience.
