Balanced Scorecard ("BSC")  was developed by Kaplan and Norton. Their study shows that financial factors were lagging indicators whereas non-financial were leading. 

 

Therefore the balanced scorecard incorporates both factors (i.e. financial and non-financial) in the form of Financial, Customer, Learning and Growth and Internal business perspectives. This is then linked to the vision and mission of the organization. 

 

A successful implementation of the BSC will propel the performance of the organization since it covers the important factors of the organization and allows management to understand the true picture of its performance.

The balanced scorecard translates the organization's strategy into four perspectives, with a balance between the following:

  • The organisation's internal and external measures
  • It's objective measures and subjective measures
  • Performance results and the drivers of future results
