BALANCED SCORECARD AND PCMM
Please find the broad definition of BS AND PCMM.
You will see that they are separate business tools.
But a linkage can be established , once the corporate
strategy is very clear and well defined.
Balanced Scorecard?
The Balanced Scorecard is a powerful framework to help organizations rapidly implement strategy by translating the vision and strategy into a set of operational objectives that can drive behavior, and therefore, performance. Strategy-driven performance measures provide the essential feedback mechanism required to dynamically adjust and refine the organization's strategy over time. The Balanced Scorecard concept is built upon the premise that what is measured is what motivates organizational stakeholders to act. Ultimately all of the organization's activities, resources, and initiatives should be aligned to the strategy. The Balanced Scorecard achieves this goal by explicitly defining the cause and effect relationships between objectives, measures, and initiatives across each perspective and down through all levels of the organization. Developing a Balanced Scorecard is the first step in creating a Strategy-Focused Organization.
BALANCE SCORECARD is not a measurement, but a tool.
-measure, analyze and manage financial and operational performance.
-translate strategic and tactical corporate objectives into individual performance measures.
-link performance results with the processes that have driven those results.
