Comment on Balanced Scorecard: Measuring the Important Stuff by inspirationcoaching

I agree that the scorecard cannot tell how to achieve better performance (thankfully that is something us humans are still useful for) but it does indicate which area of the business that we need to focus on.
Thanks for the link to the template. I would recommend using from 4 to 12 KPIs on the scorecard. There is a need to focus on the important measures, the ones that will indicate the success of strategy implementation.

The Balance Scorecard has it’s advantages, but for a short, fast and regular analysis of immaterial values it is far to complex and much to slow. I've tried some practical ways and even try to implement Balanced Scorecard with MS Excel and only find in the end that Balance Scorecard just didn't go far enough to make it a really useful management tool. A scorecard may also lead to counterproductive actions if management decides to 'play the numbers' instead of improving performance. It can tell you the present status of different measures, but it cannot tell you how to achieve better performance.

Indeed, some companies are “firing their worst customers.”

I’m not an athlete but I have built this paradigm into the way I do life. For most of my working life I have really been an entrepreneur, even when working for a boss!! So when friends and colleagues began to ask me what I would do in the short to medium term -next few years – I would speak it out.
Real energy would come in hearing myself say it. And later when I met up with the same people, I sensed they would ask me, so it gave me some accountability as well. So as I look back I know that if I really want to achieve something, there is real value in speaking it out as I go.

Wow – isn’t that too cool about Liz. I kinda had a similar situation where I found out about a triathlon and reconed I could complete the bike ride and possibly the swim as well. I made a couple of calls, essentially dedicating myself to the process and in a matter of days I was teamed up with a runner and swimmer. Even with a real lack of training we finished second for a Co-Ed team and now I want to do more events. It really is great to have an idea, even greater to achieve it!
