No, the Balanced Scorecard is not some form of betting slip, but a strategic planning and management system which is used by a wide range of organisations and was invented by Kaplan and Norton in the 1990s. WCVA is now introducing it as a way of ensuring that high level aims are translated consistently and effectively into actions by individuals throughout the organisation. From time to time, I will comment on progess here.
Having spent a 'line managers' day' looking at Balanced Scorecards at the community centre in the blink-and-you-miss-it mid Wales village of Carno, I then returned to Rhyl to link up with some WCVA staff and others for a Chinese meal and a performance of the Vagina Monologues at the local theatre. I was a bit late to the Chinese because the satnav (GPS) took me to the wrong one - like the time it guided me to the old Wal-Mart site in Redmond, Oregon, just to wind me up.
I was one of about, maybe, 10 men in a full auditorium and this meant the 'gents' loo at the interval was empty whilst the 'ladies' loo had a long line of women waiting. I suggested to some theatre staff that they should temporarily convert a 'gents' to a 'ladies' so it would take the pressure off, but to no avail. Anyway, the performance was a blend of hilarity and disturbing commenatary and was an evening well spent. The whole thing was focussed on women and the vagina - what more can I say?
