Introduction to Balanced Scorecard
An internal strategic management tool
Introduction to Balanced Scorecard

 Developed by
    Robert Kaplan (Harvard) and David Norton
    early 90s
 Earlier measurements focused mainly on financial
  measures
 The balanced scorecard is a strategic management
  system (not only a measurement system)
    Internal assessment, improvement and reporting system
    Key is the link to the strategic plan
 System to turn strategy into action
 The balanced scorecard retains traditional
  financial measures. But financial measures tell the
  story of past events, an adequate story for
  industrial age companies for which investments in
  long-term capabilities and customer relationships
  were not critical for success. These financial
  measures are inadequate, however, for guiding
  and evaluating the journey that information age
  companies must make to create future value
  through investment in customers, suppliers,
  employees, processes, technology, and
  innovation.                       Kaplan & Norton
How does a Balanced Scorecard help?

   Comprehensive view of the organization
      Covers financial and non-financial perspectives
      Covers short-term and long-term planning and measurement
   Lag and lead indicators
   Translating the vision
      Forces managers to agree on metrics for operationalizing company vision
   Communicating and linking
      Connects individual and departmental performance measures to corporate vision
   Business Planning
      Integration of functions so that budgets support long term goals
   Feedback and Learning
      Helps course correction and rethink measures
Perspectives

 The balanced scorecard suggests that we view the
  organization from four perspectives:
      The learning growth perspective
      The business process perspective
      The customer perspective
      The financial perspective
 Develop metrics, collect data and analyze relative
  to each of these perspectives
Intro to balanced scorecard
Learning and Growth Perspective
 Development of the human resources
   This perspective supports the concept that people are
    a company's main resource and most valuable asset
   metrics defined for this perspective must measure
    various aspects of employee improvement, growth,
    and satisfaction.
      personnel training and improvement
      cultivation of corporate culture
      organizational development, including the nurturing of
       corporate experts, gurus, and mentors
      setting up of fast and efficient knowledge transfer
       infrastructure
      opening up of communication lines among personnel
Business Processes Perspective

 Internal business processes
   These metrics, which measure various aspects
    (efficiency, speed, quality, etc.) of how well the
    company's products, services and internal
    support systems are produced or delivered
The Customer Perspective

 Focus on customer satisfaction.
   Rigorous data analysis to understand the
    customer
   Difficult to reflect the true sentiment of the
    customer
Financial Perspective

 Indicates if the transformation of strategy leads
  to economic success
 Define the financial performance that the
  strategy is to achieve
    Revenue growth
    Cost reduction
       Cost reduction from energy efficiency
 Measures the effectiveness of the other
  perspectives
Characteristics of good metrics

 reflect the true present status of the company from many
  different perspectives
 provide constructive feedback to various company
  processes, leading to continuous improvement
 show trends in company performance over time,
  facilitating adjustments to changes
 quantify many things, making analyses more accurate and
  solutions more effective
Close the loop

 Once the metrics have been defined and
  implemented
       scorecard data becomes available
       follow-through becomes imperative
 Movements in the metrics must be analyzed to
  identify their causes
 Causes that produce positive (negative) changes
  must be sustained or enhanced (eliminated)
