BD started working with ASVP Group after selecting an automated Balanced Scorecard strategic performanace monitoring and management software system from an ASVP Group strategic partner.

ASVP has facilitated workshops for BDANZ to develop Balanced Scorecards for BD at corporate and SBU level. The company's scorecards are now in the final stages of operationalisation, and when fully commissioned, will feature real-time, automated feeds into the automated performance monitoring and management system, from BD's corporate SAP, Cognos and MS Office systems.

The BDANZ experience and case study was featured at a 2005 ASVP Group CEO Seminar.

Few consulting firms have successfully captured the key elements of the Balanced Scorecard like ASVP Group, with the appropriate mix of flexibility in the strategic development, and rigour in the search for cause and effect relationships, and appropriate measures. It's an approach that removes ambiguity and never compromises achievement of the organisational objectives.

"BD had been working on our Balanced Scorecards at SBU level for some time before they brought ASVP and Primed Online's software on board to help them", said Chris Blackman, Managing Director of ASVP Group. "The difference was palpable. Having independent facilitators for their internal strategic development workshops gave a strong methodological framework approach, fresh insight and a Six-Sigma inspired search for quality in everything they did from that point forward."

"With Balanced Scorecard implementations, if it's not good for the shareholders, then it's just not good enough", said Chris Blackman, "BDANZ's improved results speak for themselves. Clarity of the organisation's vision, and blisteringly clear articulation of the business and marketing strategy are the hallmarks of a good Balanced Scorecard implementation."
