The Original Strategy Summit...

For over 10 years, the Balanced Scorecard North American Summit has been the annual destination for management teams and practitioners, offering an unrivaled opportunity to learn about the full range of tools, techniques, and approaches to managing and executing strategy. It’s the only major event in the conference marketplace focused primarily on strategy execution and endorsed by the creators of the Balanced Scorecard, Drs. Kaplan and Norton.

In addition to world-class speakers, case studies, and executive networking opportunities, delegates will be invited to leverage a 1:1 meeting system which facilitates meetings with subject matter experts, peers, and technology providers. Delegates will also have the valuable opportunity to take a pre-summit survey and receive a customized profile on how their organization’s strategy management measures against industry best practices.

NEW this year

Using the individual strategy survey results, delegates now have to opportunity to take part in interactive Learning Teams led by strategy experts and designed to give feedback and action-steps on how to drive results following the Summit.

Dear Colleague,

Celebrating our 10^th anniversary, we invite you to join us in San Francisco for the 2007 Balanced Scorecard North American Summit. Building upon the momentum of last year’s Summit, our theme this year is “Executing on Innovation.” Together, we will explore emerging marketplace trends in Innovation, and the practical application of strategies and tactics that will enable you to achieve breakthrough performance results.

This year’s Summit features thought leaders/authors Adrian Slywotzky and Chris Zook along with numerous best practice case studies presented by business leaders representing Wyeth Research, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Harrah’s Entertainment, Merck & Co., IBM, San Francisco Giants, and many more.

We are also excited to offer Learning Teams, a new interactive component of our conferences. Here you will have the opportunity to work closely with strategy management subject matter experts, receive peer and expert feedback, and develop actionable plans to implement in your organization after the Summit.

For those of you who have attended in the past, you know that the North American Summit offers an unrivaled opportunity to learn about the full range of tools, techniques, and approaches to managing and executing strategy. We look forward to seeing you again, or for the first time.
