Constructing and Implementing the Balance Scorecard

The balanced scorecard is a management system (not only a measurement system) that enables organisations to clarify their vision and strategy and translate them into action. It provides feedback around both the internal business processes and external outcomes in order to continuously improve strategic performance and results

The balanced scorecard suggests that we view the organization from four perspectives, and to develop metrics, collect data and analyse it relative to each of these perspectives:

* The Learning and Growth Perspective
* The Business Process Perspective
* The Customer Perspective
* The Financial Perspective
