Balanced Scorecard process review – Power Point presentation by Lisa Foss with slide handouts.
Discussion:
The SPC committee has a decision to make regarding whether or not we want to keep the Technology theme or incorporate it into the other four themes.
The same language will be used across all themes.
Students will be at the top of the strategy map.
The SPC committee will need to come up with a proposal around what perspectives make sense for us as an institution.
The finished product will be that we have ownership of the house, using our words and following the basic architecture of the process.
When reading the strategy map, ask why from the bottom to the top and ask how when reading the strategy map from the top to the bottom.
The four perspectives that the SPC committee agreed upon by consensus to be used on SCSU’s scorecard are as follows (from top to bottom):
- Students and Stakeholders
- Resource Stewardship
- Organizational Processes
- Organizational Readiness
Sub-committee formation and assignment
Five sub-committees will be formed. One sub-committee will be responsible for developing a strategy map for one of the five themes. They will need to meet once before Oct 12 and be prepared to provide a map and document to the committee by Oct. 26. The individual strategy maps will be used to create an overall university strategy map.
