  The Balanced Scorecard & Technology: Automation

 
 

The Automation of a Balanced Scorecard is addressed in detail in Step Seven of the Nine Steps to Success® methodology. In this step, the scorecard implementation process begins by applying performance measurement software to get the right performance information to the right people at the right time. Automation adds structure and discipline to implementing the Balanced Scorecard system, helps transform disparate corporate data into information and knowledge, and helps communicate performance information. In short, automation helps people make better decisions because it offers quick access to actual performance data.

There are over a hundred Balanced Scorecard and/or performance management automation development companies. Some of the options are specifically dedicated to Performance Management and/or the Balanced Scorecard. Others include tools which are primarily designed for Business Intelligence, Analytics or Data Warehousing, but have modules dedicated to Performance Management. The Balanced Scorecard Institute does not endorse or certify any of the available software products, but instead advises clients on software options and acts as an honest broker between the client and the software vendors, of which many are partners of the Balanced Scorecard Institute, such as Spider Strategies and Actuate/Performancesoft.

If you would like to learn more about how the Balanced Scorecard Institute can help your organization with software evaluation, call (919) 460-8180 or email info@balancedscorecard.org.
