Strategic planning is a critical capability for all organizations.  The balanced scorecard (BSC) is the leading and predominant methodology for strategic planning, strategy execution, and strategic management used in non-profit, government and businesses throughout the world. An excellent strategic plan provides not only the documentation of the strategy but must also include how the strategy is executed.  According to recent research presented in the Harvard Business Review and other sources, over 80% of strategic plans are not effectively executed!
