Apply: Balanced Scorecard Template

/in /by

Develop three strategic objectives for each of the four balanced scorecard areas using the Balanced Scorecard Template.

Ensure the objectives are expressed in full sentences. As an example, “Increase sales by 3% within 1 year”. Measures refer to the activities that will provide managers with quantitative and/or qualitative data for measurements. In the example above, sale volumes or monthly revenues can be used to determine if sales have increased by 3%. The final part of the template, targets, is what the organization wants to achieve. In my example, the target is 3%. Because this will make things repetetive in this template, you can leave out the metric part from the actual objective statement if you want to.

DEBATE Re-write: Were Rolling Stone right to put Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on their cove

/in /by

I really NEED you on this one. Can I get this by midnight tonight? There is a STRICT 800 word count limit on the actual debate. References/Footnotes do not count.

This needs to be re-written and the argument re-focused to make this a great debate. My answer to the question really should be Rolling Stone was wrong to use shock value to sell magazines and cheaply grab attention, but from a journalistic standpoint should be allowed to report the story.

Rewrite: Rolling Stone Debate.doc 

The intro and ending do not pack enough punch. The body repeats itself too much. This should be direct yet eloquent and profound. I want every line to grab attention.

Here are some examples of some ideas you can use for the debate:

Some things to think about.docx 

Please add one of these videos in the debate and PLEASE include the last line of the Breaking The Set video. I think that is powerful. 

Breaking The Set: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwSRB3X1aU8
MSNBC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2TUPt481Zg

Whichever video you don’t add, maybe feature some of the lines said in the debate.

Example of a really good debate that strongly takes a side, answers the debate question but objectively looks at the other side too. Debate Example 3.docx
