Balanced Scorecard by Robert D. Kaplan

Translating Strategy into Action

A practical framework for turning strategy into action, this work shows how organizations can supplement financial measures with customer, internal-process, and learning-and-growth perspectives to create a balanced set of performance indicators; it introduces tools such as strategy maps and scorecards to link objectives, measures, targets, and initiatives so leaders can align the organization, monitor execution, and use measurement as a driver of continuous strategic improvement.
