Scorecard Analysis: Individual Presentation

• Kaplan and Norton's 1992 article, "The Balanced Scorecard: Measures that Drive Performance."


• Kaplan and Norton's 1996 article, "Linking the Balanced Scorecard to Strategy."


• Gunduz and Simsek's 2007 article, "A Strategic Safety Management Framework Through Balanced Scorecard and Quality Function Deployment." Note that Kaplan and Norton's (1992) balanced scorecard framework is depicted in Figure 2 of this article.

The goal of this assignment is to present a balanced scorecard for a selected organization and to generate recommendations for process improvement and organizational fitness.

For this assignment:

1. Build your recorded presentation around the PowerPoint document you created in the second discussion in Unit 7. Revise your PowerPoint presentation as appropriate, based on feedback you received in the Unit 7 discussion. Remember that your PowerPoint presentation should include:      
   
   
   
   • A description of the health care organization you selected.
   
   
   • Your balanced scorecard analysis of the organization, including how vision and strategy connect to the four balanced scorecard elements.
   
   
   • Your four recommendations for the organization.
   
   
   
   


2. Use Kaltura, or other instructor-approved alternative technology, to record yourself presenting your balanced scorecard PowerPoint slides. Before you begin recording, you may find it beneficial to write a script or detailed outline that you can refer to as you record. Your recorded presentation should be no more than 10 minutes in length and should include:      
   
   
   
   • A two-minute introduction.
   
   
   • The four elements of a balanced scorecard for the organization.
   
   
   • Four area recommendations for the organization.
   
   
   • A two-minute conclusion.
   
   
   
   


3. Include the notes or script of your audio recording. You may choose to include this in the form of the completed Notes section of the PowerPoint presentation slides, as a script you may have used when you created your recording, or in the form of a detailed outline. This will serve to clarify any insufficient or unclear audio, or as a backup if you have technical difficulties in recording the audio.


4. Post your completed audio recording and your PowerPoint presentation together in the assignment area. If your notes or script are not included in the PowerPoint presentation, please include them in a separate document along with the other presentation elements. You will also post your presentation to the discussion for this unit.
