Four brand new case studies available now in our Knoweldge Hub

A number of brand new case studies have just been added to our Knowledge Hub:

 

Executing Strategy and Aligning Financial Planning: Balanced Scorecard Best Practice at RBGE

This case study explains how RBGE created a strategic performance management framework that contains objectives in five interconnected perspectives. The framework depicts how its activities deliver the desired impact and outcome objectives, all of which are underpinned by resource and governance objectives. The case study also describes how the Strategic Objective Costing System has been aligned to the Balanced Scorecard so that it provides information to senior management on where staff efforts (and costs) are being deployed and how this is contributing to the delivery of the strategic objectives.

 

Executing Strategy and Aligning Financial Planning: Balanced Scorecard Best Practice at RBGE

This case study outlines how Durham Constabulary introduced a Plan on a Page (a strategic map). The Plan - which is supported by Key Performance Questions (KPQs), Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and strategic initiatives - was introduced to overcome challenges around strategy execution, most notably around securing clarity at senior executive and devolved levels as to the constabulary's core deliverables (what it had to be good at) and how these would be delivered. It also discusses how the organisation has aligned data collection, analytics and interpretation to generate better business (and Police) intelligence.

 

'Believing' in Performance: Measuring and Managing What Matters in Chaplaincy

This case study describes how a religious organisation has implemented a performance measurement and management system to drive performance improvements. This case outlines how the Chaplaincy Branch in the Royal Air Force went about creating a Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and measuring what was previously considered immeasurable. In particular, this case illustrates how the management team overcame some strong scepticism about measurement to create a system that now allows the board to manage and improve what matters.

 

Implementing an IT Service Balanced Scorecard: Getting it Right the Second Time Round

The case study describes how, after a failed first attempt, an Information Management Services (IMS) unit of a major organization succeeded with the Balanced Scorecard after receiving good external training and facilitation that, amongst other things, stressed the absolute importance of creating a Strategy Map. The case also illustrates how performance coordinators within the Business Units are responsible for the monthly collection and reporting of scorecard information and how a performance sub-committee meets on a monthly basis to discuss scorecard performance.
