BSC Design Tips I have implemented the BSC to my organization and we won many strategy related awards.
There is a very simple trick about BSC that you have to think of, in order to achieve, just think of Management by Objective (MBO) and measure it by the BSC and you will achieve really break-through results, cause BSC can not stand alone if you forget your functions and processes.

About Team and Individual Performance Measurement In my opinion, you must first translate the corporate strategy map into ones adapted to team and individuals. Then proceed on evaluating the achievement of their goals and targets.

Team and Individual Performance Team and individual performance can be boiled down to one of alignment. At the organization level, themes are:
1. The alignment tool - such as operational excellence - provides the organizing structures for departments & individuals & keeps the focus on strategy versus reactive, “hot topics” of the day.
2. The cascading process follows themes or objectives. It answers the question, “how is this division/position/individual contributing to the strategic objectives?” Use a matrix to explicitly link corporate objectives to the unit’s objectives to identify the contributions and gaps to be resolved (becomes the basis for SLA’s for support unity).
3. Leverage job families and individual contributors to align day-to-day work, performance expectations, competency requirements and individual development plans. The perceived gap between strategy and individual performance is often unfathomable. The key is to focus on the internal processes perspective as the context within which the work is performed.

Tips for Balanced Scorecard Design Designing a Balanced Scorecard (BSC) for an organization involves identifying key objectives and measures across multiple perspectives to provide a comprehensive view of performance. Here are some practical tips along with examples for designing a Balanced Scorecard:
- IDENTIFY STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES: Start by defining the organization's strategic objectives. These should align with the organization's mission, vision, and long-term goals. Examples include:
- Financial Perspective: Increase profitability, revenue growth, or cost reduction.
- Customer Perspective: Enhance customer satisfaction, retention, or market share.
- Internal Process Perspective: Improve operational efficiency, quality, or innovation.
- Learning and Growth Perspective: Develop employee skills, knowledge, or organizational capabilities.
- SELECT KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (KPIs): Choose specific measures or KPIs for each strategic objective that can be used to track progress and performance. Ensure that these indicators are quantifiable, actionable, and aligned with strategic goals. Examples of KPIs include:
- Financial Perspective: Return on investment (ROI), profit margins, or cash flow.
- Customer Perspective: Net Promoter Score (NPS), customer satisfaction index, or customer acquisition cost.
- Internal Process Perspective: Cycle time, defect rate, or process efficiency.
- Learning and Growth Perspective: Employee training hours, employee turnover rate, or employee engagement scores.
- SET TARGETS AND BENCHMARKS: Establish targets or benchmarks for each KPI to provide a basis for performance evaluation and goal setting. These targets should be challenging yet achievable and should reflect the organization's aspirations. For example:
- Financial Perspective: Increase profit margin by 10% within the next fiscal year.
- Customer Perspective: Achieve an NPS score of 80 by the end of the quarter.
- Internal Process Perspective: Reduce production cycle time by 20% by implementing lean practices.
- Learning and Growth Perspective: Increase employee training hours by 15% annually to enhance skill development.
- MAP CAUSE-AND-EFFECT RELATIONSHIPS: Identify causal relationships between the different perspectives to ensure alignment and coherence across the Balanced Scorecard. This helps in understanding how improvements in one area impact others. For instance:
Improving employee training (Learning and Growth Perspective) can lead to enhanced process efficiency (Internal Process Perspective), resulting in higher customer satisfaction (Customer Perspective), and ultimately, increased profitability (Financial Perspective).
- COMMUNICATE AND CASCADE: Ensure that the Balanced Scorecard is effectively communicated to all levels of the organization. Cascade the objectives and measures down to departments, teams, and individuals, aligning their efforts with the organization's overall strategy. Provide regular updates and feedback on performance against targets. For example:
- Conduct quarterly review meetings to discuss progress on KPIs and identify areas for improvement.
- Share Balanced Scorecard dashboards or reports with employees to keep them informed and engaged in the strategic goals of the organization.
- REVIEW AND ADAPT: Regularly review and refine the Balanced Scorecard to ensure its relevance and effectiveness in driving organizational performance. Monitor changes in the internal and external environment and adjust objectives, measures, and targets accordingly. For example:
- Conduct annual strategic planning sessions to reassess organizational priorities and update the Balanced Scorecard accordingly.
- Solicit feedback from stakeholders on the usefulness and clarity of the Balanced Scorecard and make adjustments as needed.
By following these tips and examples, organizations can design a Balanced Scorecard that provides a balanced and comprehensive view of performance, aligns efforts with strategic objectives, and drives continuous improvement and success.
