Boston, United States, Tuesday, December 09, 2008 -- (Business Wire India) --
Palladium
Group, Inc., the global market leader in helping organizations
execute their strategies by making better decisions, announced it has
sold out its second public Kaplan & Norton Balanced
Scorecard Certification Boot Camp Training. Taking place this week
at the company’s headquarters, the training program is designed to
measurably impact the strategy execution expertise and capabilities of
Balanced Scorecard (BSC) practitioners.
Over the course of four days, senior managers from around the globe will
learn the most critical elements of the entire Balanced Scorecard
“How-To” curriculum and all topics required to take the Kaplan & Norton
Balanced Scorecard Certification Exam, including:
Process of effective strategy development
Components of a complete Strategy Map
Steps to properly design a Balanced Scorecard
Methods and techniques necessary to cascade strategy
Principles of effective execution and governance
As the only BSC certification developed and endorsed by Balanced
Scorecard creators Drs. Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton, obtaining
Kaplan & Norton BSC certification is a significant advantage in today’s
dynamic performance management marketplace. It improves credentials by
validating proficiency in all aspects of strategy execution, encompassed
by the five principles of a Strategy-Focused Organization (SFO).
Certification also provides executives with access to a prestigious
community of Kaplan & Norton BSC practitioners, as well as industry
knowledge resources.
“The first Kaplan & Norton BSC Certification Boot Camp from Palladium
gave me a solid foundation in all aspects of implementing the BSC
strategy management system. The management process at Elkay has a heavy
bias towards strategy execution,” said Eyal Altman, Director of
Strategic Management, Elkay. “The curriculum included a good mix of
theory review, case examples, and group learning through best practice
discussion. I highly recommend this class for all business leaders that
are in the critical role of leading their organization's strategy
development and management processes.”
“Attending the inaugural Certification Boot Camp provided insightful
information on the Balanced Scorecard while offering an environment of
various levels of BSC experience to learn from,” said Cindy Cannici,
Balanced Scorecard Performance Manager, Weichert
Relocation Resources Inc. (a 2008 Palladium Balanced Scorecard Hall
of Fame winner). “Since attending the class, we have enhanced our
balanced scorecards, as well as our strategy maps to encompass some of
the new concepts that were discussed at the class, such as the
implementation of Strategic Themes. Attending the class helped to spark
new ideas from both a technical and collaborative approach.”
“The record-attendance for this training session demonstrates that
organizations from every industry worldwide understand the importance of
clarifying their strategy during these tough economic times. In fact,
many of the participants are new to the Palladium training community,
reflecting Palladium’s leadership role in strategy execution,” said
Robert L. Howie, Jr., Managing Director, Palladium Group. “They
recognize that without a management system, organizations cannot manage,
and the Kaplan Norton management system -- of which the BSC is a
critical part – is a proven framework. The Palladium
Execution Premium Process, based on this system, provides a flywheel
to clarify strategy, align the workforce to it, link to operations, and
test and adapt the strategy to dynamic market conditions.”
The next Certification Boot Camp Training will take place May 11-14,
2009. For more information, or to enroll, contact Patricia O'Donnell at
