The document discusses the balanced scorecard approach. It begins by defining the balanced scorecard as a strategic planning and management system used to align business activities with an organization's vision and strategy by monitoring performance against goals. It describes the balanced scorecard as having four perspectives - financial, customer, internal business processes, and learning and growth. These perspectives allow an organization to measure performance holistically rather than focusing solely on financial measures. The document outlines some key factors for successful implementation of a balanced scorecard and provides examples of balanced scorecards at both the organizational and departmental levels. It also discusses some potential pitfalls in using the balanced scorecard approach.

16. Scorecard Potential Pitfalls &
Criticisms
Lack of a well Defined Strategy
The balanced scorecard relies on a well defined strategy and
understanding of linkages between strategic objections and
metrics. Without this foundation the implementation could fail.
Too much focus on the lagging measures
Focusing on only the lagging measures may cause a lack of
priority or opportunity for the leading measures.
Use of Generic Metrics
Don’t just copy metrics from another firm. Identify the measures
that apply to your strategy and competitive position .
Self-serving managers
Managers whose goal is to achieve a desired result in order to
obtain a bonus or other self reward.
