About the Balanced Scorecard

Dr. Robert Kaplan and Dr. David Norton introduced their business performance methodology called the Balanced Scorecard in their 1992 Harvard Business Review article, "The Balanced Scorecard - Measures that Drive Performance." The Balanced Scorecard recognizes four dimensions that are integral to developing an enterprise view of performance: financial, customer, internal and innovation. Implementing the Balanced Scorecard as a business performance management system enables an organization to translate the mission statement and strategy into specific goals and measurements. These goals and measurements are communicated throughout the entire organization, thus providing a blueprint for how each employee contributes to the success of the organization.
