    About the Book and the Work
Implementing a Balanced Scorecard is a daunting task.  It shows a clear
commitment to excellence on the part of any organisation that undertakes this
journey, and to do it properly.

Zoë Life approached me about the possibility of helping them do this, and
being an ardent supporter of the Balanced Scorecard, I jumped at the
opportunity.  

Research quickly convinced me that I would be somewhat on my own.  I could
not find another example of a Balanced Scorecard having been implemented
in a Non-Profit type organisation in South Africa - or the rest of Africa, for that
matter.  It might have been done, but I could not find any such reference.

So armed with some material from the
United States, we jumped off the
burning platform of not having a well integrated strategically focused
Performance Management System in place.

The first part of the project took about two months - which took us to the point
of having a Company Scorecard and a departmental Scorecards for each
member of the management team.

Following this, was the production of a book, which can serve as a manual for
performing a similar project, called:  
The Balanced Scorecard in an African
Purpose Driven Organisation
.

The book consists of three sections:

Section 1 is a step by step training guide with a prepared PowerPoint
presentation to train a management team in preparation for implementing a
Balanced Scorecard.

Section 2 uses the Zoë Life Balanced Scorecard as an example to show what
the elements of a Scorecard looks like, and what kind of information should
be recorded with regards to a scorecard.

Section 3 are a few sample templates of certain items that would provide the
input data for the Zoë Life Balanced Scorecard.

I wrote the book under contract to Zoë Life, so I cannot sell it.  However, if you
are interested in a copy, please email me at
ashton@ashtonfourie.com  and I
will arrange to get a copy into your hands.

If you are interested in implementing a Balanced Scorecard in your Purpose
Driven Organisation, and you would need some help, drop me a
mail, and we
can look at the possibility of making something happen for you.
