One of the session summaries of the Moving Upstream Conference mentions: "Balanced scorecard strategy mapping- need to assess the right conditions for this. Ministry of Health and LHINs are using this tool. Looks at learning and growth, culture, values, internal processes and a measurable statement of outcomes. In a subtle way, it can influence thinking." (p. 8 English version - follow link below) We recently completed a consultation with Nova Scotia Health Promotion around an Information and Knowledge Exchange design. From these consultations we proposed a high level Balanced Scorecard to guide their initiative. While new to Health Promotion and, as one of the Upstream Conference presenters noted, the BSC introduces new measures, not always comfortable, which require learning. From my experience, health promoters are strong on seeing the whole picture/system. The Balanced Scorecard approach is exactly that. It identifies, links and measures a comprehensive set of perspectives that, working in alignment, produce desired results. A copy of the Balanced Scorecard developed for the Nova Scotia initiative is available at: http://www.itscooperative.com/community/files/7/ikens/default.aspx Please let us know if you find it useful or have applied the BSC approach in your own health promotion strategy. _______________________________________ A.
