Kaplan & Norton

Learned from the creators of the Balanced Scorecard

  1. Worked alongside them

    Strat.exe partners spent many years working closely with Harvard Professor Robert Kaplan and the late Professor David Norton, the creators of the Balanced Scorecard, as consultants at Palladium in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

  2. Access to Professor Kaplan

    Strat.exe maintains an active professional relationship with Harvard Professor Robert S. Kaplan, giving our clients direct access to the latest developments in strategy execution, at their source.

  3. Brought them to Johannesburg

    Strat.exe received the creators of the Balanced Scorecard and Strategy Execution methodology live and in person: Kaplan in 2012 (500+ delegates), Norton in 2014 (300+) and Kaplan again in 2015 (400+), with Strat.exe partners sharing several Q&A sessions with them.

  4. The Africa Strategy Execution Conference

    Strat.exe organised the inaugural ASEC in 2019, where its partners were co-speakers with Robert Kaplan and top CEOs, and received Kaplan again for ASEC 2021, joined by Renée Mauborgne (Blue Ocean Strategy) and Alex Osterwalder (Business Model Canvas).

  5. The Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame

    If your organisation would like to apply for the Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame, Strat.exe can help you get there.
