The Association of Research Libraries has released a free recording on the ARL YouTube Channel of the ARL Balanced Scorecard Webcast, held on February 14, 2011. The webcast featured three ARL libraries - Johns Hopkins University, McMaster University, and the University of Washington - that have engaged the Balanced Scorecard framework. The Balanced Scorecard framework was created by Harvard business professors Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton, in their strategy development through an ARL collaborative community based project.
Ascendant Strategy Management, a consulting firm specialising in the application of the Balanced Scorecard framework in mission-driven non-profit organisations, presented the Balanced Scorecard theory with in-depth insights from organisations they have worked with in the not-for-profit sector. Ascendant is the consulting firm working with ARL to bring the effective implementation of strategy development with the Balanced Scorecard to libraries.
The webcast provides both leadership and organisational development perspectives from Johns Hopkins, McMaster, and Washington and includes Q&A throughout. The presenters include Martha Kyrillidou of the Association of Research Libraries; Ted Jackson of Ascendant Strategy Management; Winston Tabb and Liz Mengel of Johns Hopkins University; Betsy Wilson and Steve Hiller of University of Washington; and
Vivian Lewis of McMaster University.
According to the ARL, the webcast is useful both for those interested in learning more about the Balanced Scorecard and for those who are interested in engaging with ARL and Ascendant in 2011 to develop their strategy using a well-established and proven perspective. A call for participation for a new cohort of libraries for a collaborative community based project will be announced soon.
