Strategy Development for ICT Intensive Organizations*
SEMP-aligned course based on the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) by Kaplan and Norton
The tutorial covers the classical perspectives of Balanced Scorecard (BSC), developed by Kaplan and Norton while focuses on the ICT alignment in the organization taking into account the best practices in the area such as Palladium Execution Premium Process™ (XPP), Niven’s Step by Step approach and the Balanced IT Scorecard (BITS) method of ESI. Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as a strategic planning and performance management methodology supports an organization to translate its vision and strategy into measurable business objectives, to effectively align its structures to the strategy and to continuously measure performance against strategic objectives. Students will be able to learn and discuss how to formulate an effective ICT-enabled strategy, what are the key principles of strategy translation into operational terms, how to align the organization to the strategy and how to measure and analyze the strategy success during the implementation process.
