The Balanced Scorecard is a business tool recognized world-wide by companies' executives. The secret of the successful BSC project is that all key employees, business owners, and top managers are involved. Research show that the biggest challenge during the implementation of the BSC is a motivational problem. Before starting a Balanced Scorecard project it is necessary to explain this business approach to all stakeholders so that they would buy into the design of the Balanced Scorecard and in the future became active users of this business tool.

52. DO NOT RUN THE BSC PROJECT BY
YOURSELF. Top managers like to play
their business toys alone. In the case of
the Balanced Scorecard this won't work.
Involve your team as soon as possible.
In this way you will come up with better KPIs, business
objectives, action plans and finally will achieve better results.
BALANCED SCORECARD'S DON'TS

53. DO NOT USE REWARD KPIs. Linking
rewards to specific KPI will make the
life of HR much easier, but it is not
recommended to use Reward KPIs on
your scorecard.
Researches and best practices also confirm this point of view.

54. DO NOT COPY KPIs FROM OTHER
BUSINESSES. You need to map your
business objectives and then come up
with KPIs that will measure your progress
towards business objectives or monitor
your current performance.
Business objectives come first, not KPIs. For that reason it
doesn't make sense copying KPIs from others.

56. KPIS ARE FOR MEASUREMENT,
NOT FOR MANAGEMENT.
