You create a Balanced Scorecard by using the Balanced Scorecard Institute’s Nine Steps to Success™ methodology, a structured framework for building a performance management system. This process includes conducting an organisational assessment, defining vision and strategy, developing strategic themes, creating objectives and strategy maps, and then designing performance measures, targets, and initiatives.

The programme brochure emphasises on practical steps such as cascading the scorecard, automating performance information, and using scorecard data to improve organisational performance.

The four points of the Balanced Scorecard, also known as the four perspectives, are Financial, Customer, Internal Process, and Organisational Capacity. These perspectives help organisations link strategic objectives, KPIs, and initiatives to a balanced view of performance.

There are seven essential elements involved in developing a Balanced Scorecard using the Nine Steps to Success™ framework. These include: organisational assessment, strategic themes, strategic objectives, strategy mapping, performance measures (KPIs), targets and thresholds, and strategic initiatives, followed by cascading the scorecard throughout the organisation.

No - the Balanced Scorecard is not a KPI, but a full strategic planning and performance management system.

The programme brochure explains that KPIs are just one part of the Balanced Scorecard, developed after defining strategic objectives, strategy maps, and performance drivers. The Balanced Scorecard uses KPIs across four perspectives to measure whether strategy is being executed effectively.

The main objective of a Balanced Scorecard is to create a clear, aligned, and measurable framework for strategic performance management. It combines financial and non-financial measures to improve organisational alignment, support data-driven decision-making, strengthen accountability, and drive sustainable performance results.

Its purpose is to ensure strategy is translated into measurable objectives, KPIs, and initiatives across all levels of the organisation.
