Balanced ScorecardManagement System
Developed in the early 1990’s by Harvard Business School
Professors Kaplan & Norton
BSS is a management system (not only a measurement system).
Enables organizations to clarify their vision and strategy and translate them into action.
Provides feedback around both the internal business processes and external outcomes.
Transforms strategic planning from an academic exercise into the decision center of an enterprise.
The Balanced Scorecard and Measurement-Based Management
BSS builds on some key concepts of previous management ideas:
Total Quality Management (TQM)Customer-defined qualityContinuous improvementEmployee empowermentMeasurement-based management and feedback.
BSS views the organization from four perspectives:
•The Learning and Growth Perspective•The Business Process Perspective•The Customer Perspective•The Financial Perspective
Outcome Metrics
You can't improve what you can't measure.
Metrics must be developed based on the priorities of the strategic plan
Processes are then designed to collect information relevant to these metrics
Decision makers examine the outcomes and provide feedback for improvement.
Management by Fact
The goal of making measurements is to permit managers to see the process more clearly.
Progressive businesses depend upon measurement and analysis of performance.
Measurements must derive from the company's strategy and provide critical data and information about key processes, outputs and results.

The Learning and Growth Perspective

In a knowledge-worker organization, people -- the only repository of knowledge -- are the main resource.
