More about the book

A Practical Guide to Using the Balanced Scorecard performance drivers by Nils-Goran Olve, Jan Roy, and Magnus Wetter explores the evolution and implementation of the Balanced Scorecard, a concept popularized by Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton. Traditionally, organizations focused on financial targets, often neglecting long-term strategic vision, which created a disconnect between strategy development and execution. The Balanced Scorecard addresses this gap by incorporating a broader perspective that includes customer satisfaction, internal processes, and learning and growth.

The authors leverage their extensive experience with scorecard projects to offer a practical, step-by-step approach for organizations looking to implement this system.

It serves as a resource for managers, consultants, and academics interested in the evolving practice of the Balanced Scorecard, while also examining its relationship with concepts like TQM and knowledge manageme
