Why a Dynamic “Balanced Scorecard”? The Dynamic Balanced Scorecard is a tool for effective strategy formulation, planning and implementation. It also supports decision makers to better communicate and achieve a common shared view of the business system, and to evaluate the quality and consistency of their own strategies over time. The term “balanced scorecard” has been coined by R. Kaplan and D. Norton. It has been successfully implemented in a significant number of public sector organizations in the world. In spite of its merits, the classic “balanced scorecard” has a number of drawbacks, which can be summarized as follows: • Feedback loops, delays and non-linearities are notmade explicit; Dynamic relationships between strategic initiatives, “lead”, “lag” indicators and strategic objectives are not explored; Cause-and-effect relationships between financial, customer, internal and learning & growth dimensions are not analyzed; Strategic assets and other relevant factors impacting on “lead” and “lag” indicators are not defined. This is likely to make difficult and superficial the analysis; Policy levers on which decision makers may act to affect strategic assets, in order to impact on business performance are not made explicit; • Simulation is not an option. Matching “balanced scorecard” with dynamic simulation models allows decision makers to overcome the above difficulties. Dynamic balanced scorecards enable decision makers to focus the relevant environment and to generate a spanning set of alternative futures, upon which strategic analysis and diagnosis will be developed. They also support to make decision makers’ mental models explicit, to assess their consistency and improve them. Through simulation, dynamic balanced scorecards are helpful to explore alternative scenarios and assess possible outcomes in the short and long run. They also support decision makers in understanding the feedback structure embodying relevant strategic assets driving business performance, and stimulate them to focus the relevant system’s boundaries. Such an approach supports different stakeholders to compare and share their new emerging view of, for example, how to prepare for major change. Attending the workshop will enable you to : • Design and implement a Dynamic Balanced Scorecard for your own organization; • Identify your organization’s strategic objectives; “lag” and “lead” (performance drivers) indicators; strategic assets; management processes and decision areas, policy levers; feedback loops, delays and non-linearities; • Analyse cause-and-effect relationships between financial, customer, internal and learning & growth dimensions; Detect the perils associated to weak signals of change leading to limits to growth; • Overcome vicious loops implying a gradual, but progressive, “death spiral” which leads to a continuous worsening of business performance; • Develop an attitude to properly perceive management phenomena in a systems and dynamic perspective; • Learn how to set the boundaries of the ‘relevant system’; • Understand how to model different business sub-systems, e.g. Purchasing, Production/inventorying, Capacity planning and acquisition, Commercial, R&D, Finance, etc.; • Understand how to model dynamic interdependencies among those subsystems, so to manage trade-off costs and benefits; • Understand how to model dynamic interdependencies between the firm and different subsets of the relevant external environment, e.g. related to the competitive system, or the provision of financial resources, to the labour market, to various business stakeholders; Learn how to model soft variables, e.g. related to the organization image, or delays and non-linearities, e.g. associated to key-actors’ expectations or bias; • Understand how to “put a bridge” between strategy/planning and execution, thereby fostering strategic learning.

Why a Dynamic“Balanced Scorecard”?The Dynamic Balanced Scorecard is a tool for effective strategy formulation, planning and implementation. It also supports decision makers to better communicate and achieve a common shared view of the business system, and to evaluate the quality and consistency of their own strategies over time. The term “balanced scorecard” has been coined by R. Kaplan and D. Norton. It has been successfully implemented in a significant number of public sector organizations in the world. In spite of its merits, the classic “balanced scorecard” has a number of drawbacks, which can be summarized as follows:

• Feedback loops, delays and non-linearities are notmade explicit;

• Dynamic relationships between strategic initiatives, “lead”, “lag”

indicators and strategic objectives are not explored;

• Cause-and-effect relationships between financial, customer,

internal and learning & growth dimensions are not analyzed;

• Strategic assets and other relevant factors impacting on “lead”

and “lag” indicators are not defined. This is likely to make difficult

and superficial the analysis;

• Policy levers on which decision makers may act to affect

strategic assets, in order to impact on business performance are

not made explicit;

• Simulation is not an option.

Matching “balanced scorecard” with dynamic simulation models

allows decision makers to overcome the above difficulties. Dynamic

balanced scorecards enable decision makers to focus the relevant

environment and to generate a spanning set of alternative futures,

upon which strategic analysis and diagnosis will be developed. They

also support to make decision makers’ mental models explicit, to

assess their consistency and improve them. Through simulation,

dynamic balanced scorecards are helpful to explore alternative

scenarios and assess possible outcomes in the short and long run.

They also support decision makers in understanding the feedback

structure embodying relevant strategic assets driving business

performance, and stimulate them to focus the relevant system’s

boundaries. Such an approach supports different stakeholders to

compare and share their new emerging view of, for example, how

to prepare for major change.

Attending the workshopwill enable you to :• Design and implement a Dynamic Balanced Scorecard for your own organization;

• Identify your organization’s strategic objectives; “lag” and “lead” (performance drivers) indicators; strategic assets; management processes and decision areas, policy levers; feedback loops, delays and non-linearities;

• Analyse cause-and-effect relationships between financial, customer, internal and learning & growth dimensions;

• Detect the perils associated to weak signals of change leading to limits to growth;

• Overcome vicious loops implying a gradual, but progressive, “death spiral” which leads to a continuous worsening of business performance;

• Develop an attitude to properly perceive management phenomena in a systems and dynamic perspective;

• Learn how to set the boundaries of the ‘relevant system’;

• Understand how to model different business sub-systems, e.g. Purchasing, Production/inventorying, Capacity planning and acquisition, Commercial, R&D, Finance, etc.;

• Understand how to model dynamic interdependencies among those subsystems, so to manage trade-off costs and benefits;

• Understand how to model dynamic interdependencies between the firm and different subsets of the relevant external environment, e.g. related to the competitive system, or the provision of financial resources, to the labour market, to various business stakeholders;

• Learn how to model soft variables, e.g. related to the organization image, or delays and non-linearities, e.g. associated to key-actors’ expectations or bias;

• Understand how to “put a bridge” between strategy/planning and execution, thereby fostering strategic learning.
