Description

We proudly present our new seminar “BUSINESS PLANNING using STRATEGY MAPS and the BALANCED SCORECARD system of efficient Business Plan implementation, the latest developments in designing a Successful Business Plan. The 12 stages of the Strategic Planning process, shown in the diagram below, are illustrated using specific examples based on Case Studies in which these steps are implemented using the above tools. Strategic goals for sales and profitability increase (shareholder’s satisfaction goals) followed by customer satisfaction goals (Quality of Service, customer relations, etc.) are represented using the Strategy Map. Then, the organisation improvement oriented processes and projects that will contribute towards the achievement of these goals are determined. The Final part of the Map shows the targets set in the field of Human Resources. Finally, a 4-indicator system applied on all of the above sectors (Balanced Scorecard) allows companies to monitor the Business Plan Implementation process and check whether progress is satisfactory or not. AQS has designed an Administration Support System that can be used in planning the critical actions that are necessary, even on a weekly basis; this allows companies to connect Strategy to their routine operations (available to seminar participant free of charge). Since we determine our strategic goals using the Strategy Map, we design projects and processes that are required for the materialisation of those strategic goals, by checking their efficiency through the Balanced Scorecard System An Administration Support System clarifies the critical actions that should be taken, even on a weekly basis, thus allowing the company to connect its Strategy with its daily operations.
