Strategy is an important element of any business. Many organisations continue to use management processes that are top down, financially driven, and tactical. Balanced Scorecards (BSC) bridge the typical gap between well-defined strategies and daily actions and budgets. In a knowledge-based competitive environment, the ability for companies to develop, nurture and mobilise all their assets is mandatory for success. Financial measures do not capture the value creating activities of a companies intangible assets like: the skills, competencies of employees, efficiency and responsive processes, innovation in products and services, and customer loyalty and relationships. BSCs can do this. BSCs will help to align business units, shared service units, teams and individuals to achieve the overall companies goals. Each organisation has specific challenges that trigger the introduction of BSCs. Your individual business strategies have not been detailed out to the level of the corporate strategy? The reporting does not provide the information needed to steer the business successfully? The actions of the individual organisational entities are not aligned? You plan to introduce variable compensation schemes, but lack a solid measurement basis? The responsibilities in your organisation are not clear and result in poor performance? Our BSC approach can be flexibly adopted to all of these situations. After the projects the clients' organisation not only benefited from alignment, but also from a much smoother and faster strategy and planning process.
