Course Introduction

Strategic performance management is a critical capability for organisations seeking to translate strategy into measurable results. Many managers and senior leaders struggle to achieve consistent performance due to fragmented metrics, unclear objectives, and limited visibility into what truly drives success. This challenge often leads to reactive decision-making rather than proactive performance improvement. A well-designed strategic performance management system, supported by an executive dashboard, provides the structure and clarity required to align strategy, execution, and results across the organisation.

An executive dashboard serves as a central platform that visually integrates Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) linked to strategic objectives. It offers decision-makers a consolidated, real-time view of organisational performance, enabling faster insights and more informed decisions. Through clear visualisation and strategic alignment, dashboards help leaders identify performance gaps, monitor initiatives, and focus on value-driving activities. The Strategic Performance Management Using an Executive Dashboard Training Course equips participants with practical knowledge to design, implement, and manage performance systems that support strategic execution and continuous improvement.

This training course will feature:

  • Managing and measuring organisational performance using strategic frameworks
  • Identifying, measuring, and managing tangible and intangible value drivers
  • Developing efficient, meaningful, and aligned performance metrics
  • Formulating executive dashboard implementation and follow-up strategies
  • Developing practical implementation plans to execute organisational strategies

Objectives

This training course aims to develop a strong foundation in strategic performance management and executive dashboard application, enabling participants to improve organisational alignment and decision-making. By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Create strategic alignment across the organisation through the design, implementation, and management of goals, measures, and performance targets linked to strategy
  • Identify, measure, and manage organisational tangible and intangible value drivers that directly influence long-term performance
  • Establish relevant and meaningful Key Performance Indicators to extract insights, support decision-making, and validate or challenge strategic assumptions
  • Apply strategic performance management concepts, tools, and frameworks such as the Balanced Scorecard and strategy maps
  • Formulate a structured dashboard implementation and follow-up strategy that supports monitoring, review, and continuous performance improvement
