IT portfolio management - IT portfolio management vs. balanced scorecard • The biggest advantage of IT portfolio management is the agility of the investment adjustments. While balanced scorecards also emphasize the use of vision and strategy in any investment decision, oversight and control of operation budgets is not the goal. IT portfolio management allows organizations to adjust the investments based upon the feedback mechanism built into the IT portfolio management. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Balanced Scorecard • The 'balanced scorecard' ('BSC') is a strategy performance management tool - a semi-standard structured report, supported by design methods and automation tools, that can be used by managers to keep track of the execution of activities by the staff within their control and to monitor the consequences arising from these actions.[http://www.2gc.eu/survey 2GC Balanced Scorecard Usage Survey] https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Balanced Scorecard - Characteristics • The balanced scorecard also gives light to the company's vision and mission https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Balanced Scorecard - Characteristics • As a model of performance, the balanced scorecard is effective in that it articulates the links between leading inputs (human and physical), processes, and lagging outcomes and focuses on the importance of managing these components to achieve the organization's strategic priorities.Abernethy, M.A., Horne, M.H., Lillis, A.M., Malina, M.A. and Selto, F.H., 2005, A multi-method approach to building causal performance maps from expert knowledge p. 136. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Balanced Scorecard - Characteristics • Clearly these categories were not so relevant to non-profits or units within complex organizations (which might have high degrees of internal specialization), and much of the early literature on balanced scorecard focused on suggestions of alternative 'perspectives' that might have more relevance to these groups. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html

Balanced Scorecard - History • 1993 In 1996, they published the book The Balanced Scorecard.The Balanced Scorecard: Translating Strategy into Action, Harvard Business School Press, Boston (1996) These articles and the first book spread knowledge of the concept of balanced scorecard widely, and has led to Kaplan and Norton being seen as the creators of the concept. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Balanced Scorecard - History • However it should be noted that none of these influences is explicitly linked to original descriptions of balanced scorecard by Schneiderman, Maisel, or Kaplan Norton. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html

Balanced Scorecard - Design • Design of a balanced scorecard ultimately is about the identification of a small number of financial and non-financial measures and attaching targets to them, so that when they are reviewed it is possible to determine whether current performance 'meets expectations' https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Balanced Scorecard - Design • The original thinking behind a balanced scorecard was for it to be focused on information relating to the implementation of a strategy, and, perhaps unsurprisingly, over time there has been a blurring of the boundaries between conventional strategic planning and control activities and those required to design a Balanced Scorecard. This is illustrated well by the four steps required to design a balanced scorecard included in 'Kaplan Norton's' writing on the subject in the late 1990s: https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Balanced Scorecard - Design • In particular, it is common for people to refer to a strategic linkage model or strategy map as being a balanced scorecard. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Balanced Scorecard - Design • Although it helps focus managers' attention on strategic issues and the management of the implementation of strategy, it is important to remember that the Balanced Scorecard itself has no role in the formation of strategy. In fact, balanced scorecards can comfortably co-exist with strategic planning systems and other tools. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Balanced Scorecard - Original design method • Although less common, these early-style balanced scorecards are still designed and used today. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Balanced Scorecard - Original design method • In short, early-style balanced scorecards are hard to design in a way that builds confidence that they are well designed. Because of this, many are abandoned soon after completion.Epstein M J and Manzoni J F (1997). ‘The Balanced Scorecard Tableau de Bord: A Global Perspective on Translating Strategy into Action’, INSEAD Working Paper 97/63/AC/SM https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html

Balanced Scorecard - Balanced Scorecard used for incentive based pay • A common use of balanced scorecard is to support the payments of incentives to individuals, even though it was not designed for this purpose and is not particularly suited to it.[http://v6dev.2gc.org/pdf/2GC-FAQ01-090216.pdf FAQ Answer: What is the Balanced Scorecard?] https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Balanced Scorecard - The four perspectives • These 'prompt questions' illustrate that Kaplan and Norton were thinking about the needs of small to medium sized commercial organizations in the USA (the target demographic for the Harvard Business Review) when choosing these topic areas. They are not very helpful to other kinds of organizations, and much of what has been written on balanced scorecard since has, in one way or another, focused on the identification of alternative headings more suited to a broader range of organizations. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Balanced Scorecard - Measures • The balanced scorecard is ultimately about choosing measures and targets https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Balanced Scorecard - Software tools • It is important to recognize that the balanced scorecard by definition is not a complex thing - typically no more than about 20 measures spread across a mix of financial and non-financial topics, and easily reported manually (on paper, or using simple office software). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Balanced Scorecard - Software tools • The processes of collecting, reporting, and distributing balanced scorecard information can be labor intensive and prone to procedural problems (for example, getting all relevant people to return the information required by the required date). The simplest mechanism to use is to delegate these activities to an individual, and many Balanced Scorecards are reported via ad-hoc methods based around email, phone calls and office software. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Balanced Scorecard - Software tools • In more complex organizations, where there are multiple balanced scorecards to report and/or a need for co-ordination of results between balanced scorecards (for example, if one level of reports relies on information collected and reported at a lower level) the use of individual reporters is problematic. Where these conditions apply, organizations use balanced scorecard reporting software to automate the production and distribution of these reports. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Balanced Scorecard - Software tools • Recent surveys2GC Limited, 2GC Balanced Scorecard Usage Surveys 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 [http://www.2gc.eu/survey] have consistently found that roughly one third of organizations used office software to report their balanced scorecard, one third used software developed specifically for their own use, and one third used one of the many commercial packages available. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Third generation balanced scorecard • In business performance management, a 'third-generation balanced scorecard' is a version of the traditional balanced scorecard, a structured report, supported by proven design methods and automated tools, that can be used by managers to keep track of the execution of activities by the staff within their control, and to monitor the consequences arising from these actions. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Third generation balanced scorecard • The third-generation version was developed in the late 1990s to address design problems inherent to earlier generations It is distinguished by the components making up the balanced scorecard and the design process used to develop these components. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html

Third generation balanced scorecard - Components of a third-generation balanced scorecard • *A destination statement. This is a one or two page description of the organisation at a defined point in the future, typically three to five years away, assuming the current strategy has been successfully implemented. The descriptions of the successful future are segmented into Balanced scorecard#Improved design methods|perspectives for example financial Stakeholder (corporate)|stakeholder expectations, customer external relationships, processes activities, organisation culture https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Third generation balanced scorecard - Design process for a third-generation balanced scorecard • The managers themselves, not external experts, make all decisions about the balanced scorecard content https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
Third generation balanced scorecard - Design process for a third-generation balanced scorecard • The main apparent improvements with this third generation of balanced scorecard relate to the greater relevance of the strategic Objective (goal)|objectives, because objectives are selected in the context of the organisation’s longer-term strategic goals, using a destination statement, and the greater “ownership” of the objectives by managers, because objectives are selected and defined by the responsible managers themselves. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-balanced-scorecard-toolkit.html
