Community Balanced Scorecard Webinars Two online seminars on the Community Balanced Scorecard are now posted for free viewing anytime at http://www.sam-lg.org/event_teasers on the website of the community of practice for Strategy Aligned Management-Local Government. Community Balanced Scorecards align key community collaborators (e.g., government, non-profits, local businesses) behind a common strategy to achieve measurable outcomes. The collaborators are accountable to each other and the community for their own specific actions and interim measurable results intended to contribute to the long-term outcomes desired by the community. The new methodology unites results-focused community building practices of the Effective Community Governance Model with the strategy alignment of balanced scorecard, and should especially interest practitioners and researchers interested in how communities or regions can achieve measurable results on big issues that government cannot address successfully on its own. Webinar presenters are Paul Epstein (former NY Metro ASPA President) and Lyle Wray, co-authors of "Results That Matter" (Jossey-Bass, 2006). See www.resultsthatmatter.net for more information on the Effective Community Governance Model (presented at the 2006 ASPA Conference) and "Results That Matter." |
