Kaplan & Norton.

This program is ideal for anyone interested in helping their organizations focus on strategy and improve performance.

Topics covered by this course include:
  • BSI’s Nine Steps to Success™ methodology for building and implementing balanced scorecard planning and management systems
  • Formulating organizational strategy and aligning work with desired outcomes
  • Creating employee buy-in to strategy and increasing accountability
  • Designing and implementing a scorecard within existing frameworks and in various types of organizations
  • Organizational assessments for setting vision, mission, and strategy
  • And more!

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.
