For any organization to succeed and achieve a sustainable growth, the Success Formula is,

Success = Strategy Formulation + Strategy Execution
Strategy Execution = Organization’s Capability

Organization’s capability = Processes + People Skills + Resources

Many surveys address that strategy execution is more difficult than the strategy formulation. As such for an organization to achieve sustainable results, it requires them to go beyond formulating a strategy to successfully executing the strategy. Balanced Scorecard introduced by Kaplan and Nortan has been proven in helping organizations to successfully execute their strategy.

Balanced Scorecard is defined as a framework for translating strategy into operational targets and actionable points, which influence the behavior of people and processes and thus their performance.

The balanced scorecard provides executives with a comprehensive framework that translates a company’s vision and strategy into a coherent set of performance measures.

Traditionally the Balanced Scorecard is used for establishing a performance management system, the best of Balanced Scorecard can be realized when it is used as a strategy deployment framework combined with performance management.

Balanced scorecard helps organizations identify the performance measures across the four perspectives viz., Financial, Customer, Internal Process and Learning and Growth.
