Why Use a Balanced Scorecard?

A Balanced Scorecard framework can provide:

• Focus – Ensure an organization is doing the right things instead of just doing things right (helps avoid focusing on perfecting a process that has little impact on critical outcomes).


• Alignment – Creates links between and across levels of your organization (particularly helpful to improve an issue that cuts across functional silos).


• Accountability – Across departments and with individuals (identifies what is strategically important, what level of performance is needed, and who is responsible).


• Communication – Translates your high-level strategy into words that are meaningful and relevant throughout the organization.
