    The Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico, a 2011 Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame inductee, and the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) are the latest mission-driven organizations to choose ClearPoint Strategy for their strategy and performance management software needs, according to Ascendant Strategy Management Group, the consultancy behind ClearPoint.
