Mostly Asked Scorecard Questions

You need to set the direction as "down" while setting up your metrics.

Each business can have up to 8 perspectives, 4 objectives per perspective and 6 metrics per objective. That's 192 combinations per business. If you require more than one scorecard you simply create another Business, which in effect can represent a department, division, or business unit. Just label so it's easily identified.

Each company has limits on Perspectives, Objectives and Metrics. Traditionally there are four perspectives. You can have up to eight as not every business follows the standard BS methodology. Yes Objectives are limited to 4 - why? we find in practice that having four allows you to narrow your focus to get the results and to start to question the intent or applicability of the Objective. And that's four Objectives per Perspective. You can have more than one company/ business unit/ division/ department etc., each with it's own scorecard. Don't feel that you have to cram everything under one umbrella. Breaking things down adds to understanding and accountability.

Your Balanced Scorecard is a visual tool formulated to provide management and decision makers with a quick evaluation of performance in relation to strategic objectives and metrics.  The Scorecard encompasses four pillars of business operations, called Perspectives, being; Financial, Customer, Internal Processes, and Knowledge and Growth. The Balanced Scorecard serves largely to ensure the implementation process of the developed Strategy is on track and to quickly identify variances from expectations.  As a visual tool, it effectively communicates the organisations intent and performance simply, making an ideal message sender to both employees and external interests.
