Balanced Scorecard - Solutions

The Balanced Scorecard, a management methodology developed by Robert Kaplan and David Norton, is concerned with an organizations strategy, how to envision what is needed and how to achieve it. Most organizations have a strategic plan, however the success rate of this strategic change is usually well below expectation. The reasons for this are inherent in many existing management systems, which fail to unite the long-term strategic objectives with the short-term operational plans. The Balanced Scorecard methodology bridges these two planning processes and uses a set of cross-functional measures to give a "Balanced" view of performance against plan.

The Balanced Scorecard analytical application is a management tool that converts enterprise vision and strategies into measurable goals, enables communication of strategic aims, and provides measurement of performance in key areas to determine progress towards achieving the strategy.
