Balanced Scorecard, A Comprehensive Guide Upendra K
The Balanced scorecard is a management system that enables organizations to clarify their vision and strategy and translate them into action.
Provides an organization with feedback of both the internal business processes and external outcomes, which allows for continuous improvement of strategic performance and results.
Nerve center of an enterprise
The term “scorecard” signifies quantified performance measures and “balanced” signifies the system is balanced between:
Short-term and long term objectives
Financial and non-financial measures
Lagging and leading indicators
Internal and external performance perspectives
The concept of the balanced scorecard was first touted in the Harvard Business Review in 1992 in a paper written by Robert S Kaplan and David P Norton.
The paper introduced the idea of focusing on human issues as well as financial ones, and measuring performance across a much wider spectrum than businesses had done before.
Kaplan and Norton published their ideas in full in The Balanced Scorecard: Translating Strategy into Action in 1996 and it became a business bestseller.
The balanced scorecard is centered on four performance metrics or perspectives:
Customers
Internal processes
Financial
Learning and growth
When implemented properly, each one of these perspectives contains four subparts consisting of
Objectives
Measures
Targets
Initiatives
