In times of uncertainty, managing the factors that drive business value becomes
especially significant.
Standard financial measures are insufficient for capturing all the critical
elements of business worth.
It is crucial to establish standards for non-financial measurement of business
performance.
These metrics would include, for example, leading-edge indicators for an
enterprise's ability to innovate as well as manage demand, supply and shared
services. Such metrics should be standard, objective and capable of being
audited.
Supported by new reference models, methodologies and advancement in IT,
performance measurement can provide greater insights into the cause-and-
effect relationships between operating events and financial results.
Such knowledge depends on measures that expand the traditional financial
metrics to encompass non-financial elements that offer a platform for
management of performance.
The balanced scorecard methodology developed by Drs. Kaplan and Norton
extends beyond financial measures to link vision to action. The Harvard
Business Review has acclaimed the balanced scorecard as one of the most
influential ideas of the past 75 years.

Key Performance Indicators (KPI) are financial and non-financial metrics used to quantify
objectives to reflect strategic performance of an organization.

Making the strategy tangible, understood and shared
At the highest level, the Balanced Scorecard is a framework that
helps organizations to translate strategy into operational
objectives that drive both behavior and performance.

The BSC is a structured approach to performance measurement
and performance management that links the organization’s
strategic thinking to the activities necessary to achieve desired
results
The BSC is a vehicle for communicating an organization’s
strategic direction and for measuring achievements towards
these predetermined objectives
The BSC clearly establishes linkage between strategic objectives,
the measures for determining progress, the stretch targets
established, and the focused initiatives needed to move the
organization forward to meet those organizational goals

Strategy
“A general method for achieving specific objectives.
It describes the essential resources and their amounts,
which are to be committed to achieving those objectives. It
describes how resources will be organized, and the policies
that will apply for the management and use of those
resources."

What is meant by “Balanced”
The task of developing a comprehensive strategy demands systematic consideration and
integration of various perspectives. We have to balance between financial and non-financial
considerations and apply a measure combination. The basic framework as conceived by Kaplan
and Norton, 1996 is presented below. The actual contents of each perspective are tailored to
the specific organizational/unit realities, needs and challenges.
For making the strategy explicit we use the Strategy Map/s

Cause - effect hypotheses
We must test hypotheses of cause-effect
relationships
“The key for implementing strategy is to have everyone in the
organization clearly understand the underlying hypotheses, to align
resources with the hypotheses, to test the hypotheses continually, and
to adapt as required in real time.”
The Strategy-Focused Organization by Kaplan and Norton 2001
Strategies and action plans are based on cause-effect
hypotheses e.g. assumptions and Ifs (as far as strategy is
concerned IF is the longest word)
“If we do….., we will raise more income”
Mapping the strategy highlights the assumed cause-effect
relationships.
We must continuously test and check the validity the hypotheses
They might have been wrong and/or the assumed
environmental/internal realities have been changed.
CHANGE is the name of the game
We must continuously monitor implementation

Some of the Indicators of Good Balanced Scorecard
4. Financial Linkage
Every objective can ultimately be related to financial
results
1. Executive Involvement
Strategic decision makers must validate and own
the strategy and related measures
2. Cause-and-Effect Relationships
Every objective selected should be part of a chain of
cause and effect linkages that represent the
strategy
3. Balance between outcome and leading
measures There should be a balance of outcome
measures and leading measures to facilitate
anticipatory management
5. Linkage of Initiatives and Measures: Each
initiative should be based on a gap between
baseline and target.
A good Balanced
Scorecard will

your strategy in
