The Association for Strategic Planning presents “Integrated Strategic Planning and Management Using the Balanced Scorecard: National Marrow Donor Program Case Study” at its breakfast series presentation on Tuesday, April 24.
Howard Rohm, co-founder, president and chief executive officer of the Balanced Scorecard Institute, and John Rudrud, strategic planning specialist at the National Marrow Donor Program headquartered in Minneapolis, will give the presentation.
The event will be held from 7 to 9 a.m. in Room 202, Opus Hall, on the university’s Minneapolis campus. Cost is $30.
The program
Balanced scorecards have been in existence for 20 years, and many businesses and government and nonprofit organizations use a balanced scorecard system. These systems have evolved from simple KPI scoring solutions to sophisticated integrated strategic planning and management systems.
The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) adopted the balanced scorecard to improve alignment, become more strategy focused, prioritize its programs and services, and measure what matters to improve results.
Rohm and Rudrud’s presentation will show how NMDP improved organization performance using the balanced scorecard as its integrated strategic planning and management system. Success and challenges will be discussed, along with lessons learned that other organizations can apply to their own strategic management journey. This presentation will appeal to anyone interested in strategic planning and management, not just balanced scorecards.
