  6. Here’s how we believe the Journey to Excellence Program can help your Council Planning Assessment Recognition Incentive for Continuous Improvement Benchmarking Early warning of Potential Problems Non-Intrusive Support for your Districts and Units Support from the Area, Region and National Council

  7. Planning • Journey to Excellence Scorecard is a planning framework for your year’s performance targets • Tie your council’s plans into the National Strategic Plan • Plan for improvement and for frequent review of achievement

  8. Assessment Your Council’s Journey to Excellence Balanced Scorecard gives: • An honest and objective evaluation of your council’s strong points and areas needing improvement • Evaluation in overall performance and in 17 specific criteria including areas of: • Finance • Program • Membership • Governance • Criteria are coordinated with BSA National Strategic Plan

  9. Recognition • Councils with a satisfactory performance receive the “Bronze” level of recognition • Councils which do better than satisfactory receive higher recognition • Effective Performance – “Silver” level • Excellent Performance – “Gold” level • Levels of recognition are determined and published each year

  10. Incentive for Continuous ImprovementTwo Ways to “Travel”Three Levels of Recognition • Gold • Silver • Bronze • Determined Standard (DS) • – set benchmarks • Performance Standard (PS) • – continuous improvement

  11. Benchmarking • Bronze, Silver and Gold levels are tracked in overall performance and in each of the 17 criteria • Performance of all Councils is published • Identify Councils doing well in areas you need to improve • contact them through BSA leadership or directly to receive ideas, tips and techniques for improvement.

  12. Early Warning of Potential Problems Balanced Scorecard has several criteria shown to be leading indicators of Council performance You can be alerted if these criteria become negative and take early action to head off more severe problems

  13. Leading vs Lagging Indicators Leading Indicator Lagging Indicator Captain, there’s an iceberg on the far horizon Captain, the inventory of the galley shows a lot more ice than we expected

  14. Non-Intrusive Journey to Excellence criteria are based on information your council is already submitting or is being recorded Calculation of the Council level Journey to Excellence Balanced recognition requires no extra work and will appear on the dashboard Balanced Scorecard is provided with your Council’s annual rechartering

  15. Support for your Districts and Units Journey to Excellence evaluation is available for Districts and Units (Packs, Troops, Teams, Crews, Ships) Criteria are based on factors shown to produce successful, healthy, growing Scouting Recognition can be awarded based on performance measured or improvement Evaluation is made at time of district or unit recharter

  16. Support by Area, Region and National Council Area Directors and Area Volunteer Leadership plus Regional and National Leadership have access to Journey to Excellence Balanced Scorecards Need for and benefit of help and support can be identified very early and provided in a timely manner Specific areas of strength and weakness are identified so assistance can be very focused Achievement in line with the National Strategic Plan is tracked

  27. Criteria Standards Change Each Year • Each year, the criterion requirements will be tightened to reflect the improved performance by councils • New standards for 2012 will likely be announced in early 2012 • Council performance for 2011 will determine the 2012 standards, so 2011 data will need to be collected and analyzed • A Silver performance for 2011 might only rate Bronze in 2012 • The criteria will likely be the same; it will never hurt to do better and improve
