ABOUT THE BALANCED SCORECARD

The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is a multidimensional framework for describing, implementing, and managing strategy at all levels of an enterprise by linking objectives, initiatives, and measures to an organization’s strategy. The scorecard provides an enterprise view of an organization's overall performance by integrating financial measures with other key performance indicators around customer perspectives, internal business processes, and organizational growth, learning, and innovation. The BSC is not a static list of measures, but a framework for implementing complex programs of change and indeed, for managing strategy-focused organizations.

Since the concept was introduced by Professor Robert Kaplan and Dr. David Norton in 1992, BSCs have been implemented at corporate, strategic business unit, shared service functions, and cascaded to team and individual levels at hundreds of organizations—in both the private and public sectors—worldwide. The BSC has been the subject of three articles in Harvard Business Review (HBR), more than 125 additional articles in business publications, a best-selling business book (now in 18 languages), numerous Harvard Business School case studies, and public conferences around the globe.

The BSC was selected by HBR as one of the most important management ideas of the past 75 years. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and business intelligence software vendors are releasing an ever-growing number of BSC applications and automated tools that support the implementation of BSC programs. Bain & Company’s latest survey of CEO management tools and techniques, published in 1999, shows more than half of the Global 1,000 have adopted the BSC, and strong satisfaction among BSC users. While Fortune reports that 9 out of 10 organizations fail to execute their strategies, BSC users are not only successfully executing their strategies, but are doing so rapidly, measurably, and knowledgeably.
