We wanted to create a strategic plan that would engage and inspire our staff, our volunteers and our supporters. With =mc's help we designed out first interative Balanced Scorecard. This was hugely successful in creating enthusiasm and buy-in across the whole organisation for our new strategic direction and vision for CAFOD in 2010.

International Director,
CAFOD


This was an excellent and enjoyable day that allowed me to explore how I can implement some new processes into our strategic planning. I gained some good insights both in what to do and what not to do! Overall, an in-depth and well-rounded introduction to the Balanced Scorecard.

John Trevelyan, Head of Statutory, Trusts and Major Donors, Sense


This programme was well up to =mc’s usual high standards. I would definitely recommend this programme to other people in my position because the Balanced Scorecard is applicable, relevant and useful in the third sector.

Greg Collins,
Head of ICT, Sightsavers


I left with more confidence on how to use and implement the Balanced Scorecard in our organisation. The content was well-paced and clear, with relevant examples that helped put the theory into practice. Another excellent course, thank you!

Lynn Trigwell, Head of Cultural & Youth Services, South Bucks District Council


An excellent and informative day. I was inspired to go back and put it straight into practice. This is an invaluable management tool.
