To produce extraordinary results, even the most brilliant strategies require
measurable, sustainable action by everyone in the organization.
Going from strategic plan to top-level scorecard is a great start, but you'll
really see improvements when scorecards are "cascaded" down and across the
entire organization.
Through the process of
Cascading Scorecards, you identify and
map out the cause and effect relationships that exist between lower and higher
level outcomes (also called lagging and leading measures), ultimately linking
every employee's goals and performance with the top-level organizational
scorecard.
A framework like this, with linked objectives, measures, and aligned
improvement initiatives, provides incredible insight into and control over
organizational performance by making it possible – even in very large
organizations -- to spot and react to a budding problem before it adversely
impacts high-level outcomes.
To be successful, you'll need a deep understanding of linked objectives,
leading and lagging measures, and processes for creating strategic alignment.
