Program Tracks
There are two levels of certification: the basic Balanced Scorecard Professional (BSP) and the more advanced Balanced Scorecard Master Professional (BSMP).
Balanced Scorecard Professional™ (BSP) Certification
The BSP certification is a 5-day program that introduces participants to the balanced scorecard system. It is comprised of two courses that provide a comprehensive understanding of balanced scorecard essentials ranging from basic to advanced, organized around BSI’s award-winning Nine Steps to Success™ framework. Participants must pass an exam at the end of the second course to get BSP certified. Take both courses together and get certified in the same week with the popular BSP Certification Boot Camp!
Balanced Scorecard Master Professional™ (BSMP) Certification
The BSMP certification takes participants through the most advanced principles of strategic management systems. This 5-day program builds on the knowledge learned in the BSP program with more advanced exercises, one-on-one interaction with senior staff, and additional resource material, software tools, and templates. The BSMP program can be taken as a supplemental course after the BSP certification, or as a standalone 10-day course. Participants must pass the BSP exam as well as create and present a BSMP application project to become BSMP certified.

The original Balanced Scorecard Boot Camp!

Fully consistent with basic balanced scorecard concepts & terminology developed by Kaplan & Norton, the course covers scorecard development in business, government, and non-profit organizations. Participants get hands-on practice using a simple, step-by-step process for developing a scorecard system on their own.

Balanced Scorecard Professional Certification Part 1:
Intro to the Balanced Scorecard
Course 301 – 3 Days
Price: $2,700
The Balanced Scorecard Professional Certification Pt. 1 course introduces participants to the Nine Steps to Success™ balanced scorecard development methodology. Participants learn how to build and implement a balanced scorecard for any commercial, government or nonprofit organization with a practical step-by-step approach. As Part 1 of the BSP Certification, this course is a practical, “hands-on” workshop that covers best practices, case studies, exercises, lessons-learned, real-life examples and expert facilitation practices. This course is the fundamental starting point for anyone interested in scorecard development, even for students that have advanced knowledge and experience implementing scorecards based on their own research or by working with other methodologies.
Balanced Scorecard Professional Certification Part 2:
Advanced Balanced Scorecard
Course 401 – 2 Days

This course provides a quick review of basic scorecard building steps, adds advanced building techniques, and goes in depth with cascading a scorecard system throughout an organization and evaluating the impact of the scorecard system and making corrections. The course includes additional focus on change management and strategic facilitation of teams. In addition to the two days of class, participants are given free access to the BSP certification exam.
