Why Strategy Matters

 • Borrowing heavily from Kaplan’s Balanced Scorecard and Strategy Mapping.
 • I have taken everyone’s feedback from the meeting on 10/29 and
   attempted to place it into a comprehensive strategy map.
 • A Harvard Business School study shows that between 70-90% of
   businesses attempting a new strategy fail.
 • The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) approach nets results in 2-3 years.
 • It emphasizes consistent alignment and focus.
 • Five principles have to be embraced:
     –   Translate strategy to operational terms.
     –   Align the organization to the strategy.
     –   Make strategy everyone’s everyday job.
     –   Make strategy a continual process.
     –   Mobilize change through executive leadership.

   To achieve our vision, how should we
    appear to our customers? What is
  that “customer delight” combination of
       product, service, pricing, etc.?



  Internal Perspective
      To satisfy our customers, what
  operational processes must we excel at?
   What do we need to be better at than
    any of our competitors in order to
        create “customer delight”?

Balanced Scorecard Presentation For Gemba

  • 1.
    Why Strategy Matters • Borrowing heavily from Kaplan’s Balanced Scorecard and Strategy Mapping. • I have taken everyone’s feedback from the meeting on 10/29 and attempted to place it into a comprehensive strategy map. • A Harvard Business School study shows that between 70-90% of businesses attempting a new strategy fail. • The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) approach nets results in 2-3 years. • It emphasizes consistent alignment and focus. • Five principles have to be embraced: – Translate strategy to operational terms. – Align the organization to the strategy. – Make strategy everyone’s everyday job. – Make strategy a continual process. – Mobilize change through executive leadership.
