Scorecards

Current use of Scorecards has been dominated by the business and not interlocked with a programmes strategy or delivery. Gartner’s research questioned organisations regarding achievement of business benefits and asked: "Do Programmes Deliver Benefits" the report found 75% did not deliver benefits leaving just 25% that did. Scorecards act as an aid to translating a strategy into measurable and actionable items within a programme. By taking this approach a programme will align with the strategic business objectives.

Our event will provide an introduction to the management use of Scorecards, demonstrating the benefits of using Scorecards within a strategic and delivery programme environment. Project management activities can assist the organisation to achieve strategic business objectives. This could reduce the risk of not meeting expectations, and ensure the programme is achieving the vision it set out to achieve. Communications could be improved with a full picture of a programme being provided, increased productivity by reducing the amount of effort required for reporting.
