The balanced scorecard is both a strategic planning tool and a management system. By helping organizations align financial, operational, marketing and developmental outcomes, balanced scorecards are an effective guide to ensuring that the right goals are both set and met.

IEDC's June webinar will examine balanced scorecards in depth – how they work, how economic development organizations can use them to create effective strategies, and the scorecard's role in management best practices. Expert presenters will explore the five perspectives on which the balanced scorecard is based:

1. Financial Perspective
2. Customer Perspective
3. Stakeholder Perspective
4. Internal Process Perspective
5. Learning and Growth Perspective

David Kolzow of Team Kolzow and Ed Bee from Taimerica Management Company will lead the webinar. As president of an economic development consulting firm, David Kolzow is currently engaged in assisting regional EDOs in developing their balanced scorecards. In 2009, Taimerica president Ed Bee modified the balanced scorecard model used by corporations to meet the needs of economic development organizations.

BY ATTENDING THIS WEBINAR, YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO:
• Achieve balance among the five perspectives within your organization
• Align activities, people and policies with your organization's vision and long-term strategic goals
• Maximize performance through a clear set of metrics for individuals and the organization as a whole
• Develop a system for individuals to understand their role in the organization's success and areas for growth and professional development

Space is limited! Register today.
