Driving Corporate Performance Aligning Scorecards, Systems, and Strategy

Who Is Right for the Program

The HBS Executive Education program Driving Corporate Performance is intended primarily for the senior financial executive who is responsible for designing and using systems to monitor and improve enterprise performance. It is particularly well-suited to senior executives with planning, control, and accounting responsibilities, including:

  • Chief financial officers
  • Vice presidents of finance
  • Strategic planning officers
  • Controllers

The program meets the needs of individuals or teams. When general managers or chief operating officers attend along with their senior financial executives, the senior management team can better align performance management systems and accountability with company strategy, and implement systems more quickly throughout the organization.
