According to studies, the BSC is being implemented in nearly two-thirds of North American corporations. Indicative of the system's growth, many of these implementations are less than six months old. Thus, as a manager, if the system has not yet been encountered, it most likely will be in the near future.

What does this mean to managers?

FIRST, recognize the Balanced Scorecard for what it really represents. Essentially, the BSC is a measurement framework through which organizations define strategic goals at every level in an organization with measures attached to each goal - thus enabling managers to review past and predict future performance and to take corrective improvement action. The BSC is significantly different than other management systems in that it forces organizations to measure only the top few strategic goals and to align every employee behind their interpretation of these goals. Ultimately, the BSC is a proven methodology to execute an enterprise strategy.

SECOND, embrace the power of the Balanced Scorecard. If managers can deftly create their divisional, departmental or team goals, identify useful measurements, and enable those working for them to take predictive action against performance shortfalls, the BSC can truly become a value-added manager's tool.

THIRD, understand the big picture of enterprise strategy execution. Organizations that have successfully deployed a Balanced Scorecard framework and achieved notable results all followed these 10 steps:

1. Develop a solid strategy A solid strategy is the keystone to business success. Without a solid strategy, success is unobtainable. Of course, without execution, a solid strategy is meaningless.
2. Translate the strategy into a scorecard of clear objectives By translating a strategy into objectives (short verb-noun statements), managers and front-line employees are provided understand both what is expected and why. To achieve the best results, the scorecard should be focused on no more than ten strategic objectives.
3. Attach measures to each objective After translating a strategy into objectives, managers and employees must know if and when the objectives are being achieved. Thus, each objective should be given at least one – but not more than three – measurements that are accurate milestones for achievement.

         5. Attach measures to each objective After translating a strategy into objectives, managers and employees must know if and when the objectives are being achieved. Thus, each objective should be given at least one – but not more than three – measurements that are accurate milestones for achievement.
         6. Cascade scorecards to the front line Operational management and front-line employees do the actual work that makes strategies happen. Thus, organizations should ultimately develop scorecards at every level in an organization, allowing each person to see how his or her specific job duties align and contribute to the higher-level goals. By cascading scorecards, strategy then becomes "everyone's" job.
         7. Align existing core processes to objectives As the scorecards are being deployed, managers need to re-examine their existing core processes and determine if they are linked to the corporate strategy. If such linkages are not found, the processes should be reconsidered. Aligned processes are often the best places to find appropriate measures for lower level scorecards.
         8. Deliver measurement-based performance feedback Managers should accord each employee in an organization periodic feedback on how his or her individual and corporate measures have progressed. Monthly reviews of scorecard content and related improvement initiatives are an ideal format for this feedback.
         9. Hold people accountable for performance measures When performance measures go below or above pre-determined thresholds, organizations must hold specific individuals responsible for explaining the reason(s) behind a measurement variance.
         10. Empower work groups to implement improvement initiatives Managers and employees must be empowered to take corrective action when performance is suffering and to replicate best practices when goals are exceeded.
         11. Link initiatives to the budgeting process As an organization tracks its performance measures and reacts to shortfalls, the improvement solutions often require budget support. Hence, a formal budget submission and approval process must be integrated into a strategy execution system to ensure that countermeasures are implemented.
         12. Reassessment of the main strategy As the closed-loop process returns to the overall strategy, it is important to gather the organizational knowledge and progress toward strategic goals, as well as to reassess the market, competitors, and customers to determine if the high level strategy needs to be adjusted or drastically changed.
