BSC

The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is a strategic management tool that helps companies translate their goals and visions into measurable performance indicators. It provides a balanced view of a company’s performance by taking four perspectives into account:

  1. Financial perspective: measuring the company’s financial performance, including sales growth, profitability and cash flow.
  2. Customer perspective: capturing customer satisfaction, customer loyalty and brand loyalty through metrics such as customer surveys, repeat purchases and complaint rates.
  3. Internal process perspective: Evaluating the efficiency and quality of internal processes to ensure outstanding performance and continuous improvement.
  4. Learning and development perspective: monitoring the skills, competencies and resources required for future success and growth, such as employee training, research and development.

The BSC helps companies to concretize their strategies by setting clear goals for each perspective and measuring performance against key performance indicators (KPIs). By linking performance in all four perspectives, companies can better understand how their measures and activities contribute to long-term success.

Effective implementation of the Balanced Scorecard enables companies to improve strategic alignment, optimize decision-making processes and manage performance across all levels and departments. This enables a comprehensive and balanced view of the company’s performance, which ultimately leads to better target achievement and long-term competitiveness.
