LAMA Preconference @ ALA2008: Learn to Live a Balanced Scorecard
May 13th, 2008 by Andrea MercadoAn announcement from our friends over at the Library Administration and Management Association
(LAMA):
LAMA MAES is sponsoring the pre-conference workshop “Living the Balanced Scorecard” Friday, June 27, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm during the ALA Annual 2008 conference in Anaheim. The workshop will feature Joe Matthews, Director of Mathews and Associates and author of the soon to be released Scorecard for Results (Libraries Unlimited, May 2008, $45 retail cost).
The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is an organizational tool enabling library management to develop a method for focusing on customers, understanding their needs and demands for library services, and demonstrating accountability for using public funds. The BSC provides library management with supporting data needed to implement data driven decisions.
Attendees will receive as part of their registration a copy of Scorecard for Results at no extra charge. Using case studies as examples, presenters will guide workshop attendees through how to develop strategy, performance measures, targets and initiatives, and then how to integrate these results and communicate them effectively. Other presenters are Susanna Pathak of the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA and Kathryn Robinson of the Orange County Public Library System in Orlando, FL.
We invite you to register and learn more about how to practice the Balanced Scorecard technique, a valuable tool for your library’s assessment needs!
