This article discusses how companies can use the Balanced Scorecard as a strategic management system. The Balanced Scorecard allows companies to measure their performance across financial and non-financial objectives, including customer satisfaction, internal processes, learning and growth, and financial metrics. It also links short-term goals to long-term strategy. The four key processes of the Balanced Scorecard are: 1) Translating the vision for stakeholders, 2) Communicating short-term goals and linking them to long-term strategy, 3) Business planning, and 4) Gathering feedback to enable flexible decision making.
