Programme Background
Most organisations (both in the private and public sectors) focus primarily on their financial performance (past and future) be that in terms of profit, or how they manage their budgets, which of course is a vital part of any strategy.
However, very few consider other key elements which are critical to achieving their strategic goals, for example;
How do we define our brand, culture and core values? what do our external customers require in this fast-moving/changing global market?
What do our internal customers (employees and other key stakeholders) want, need and expect?
Can our existing internal resources deliver our planned future strategy and how will we meet our Corporate and Social Responsibilities?
It is these areas and others, that this programme focuses on. Each of these elements are a crucial part of any organisations strategic journey, and form part of any balanced scorecard.
By the end of the Strategic Planning Journey with BSC programme, each delegate/organisation will have the key building blocks of a strategic plan in place.

We utilise the PRISM Brainmapping tool when designing, implementing and maintaining your BSC 
(strategic plan). The tool has been developed using the fast paced advances in Neuroscience and has been designed to measure behaviours of individuals and teams in the
workplace in 22 different areas, allowing us to assess the probability of a person (or teams) delivering high performance in any given role.
By understanding your own and other colleagues preferred behaviours, and how individuals’ function under pressure, as well as identifying other areas of strengths and development, it simplifies the process of selecting individuals and teams for specific roles, initiative’s or projects around your strategy.
