Training on Balance Scorecard
In today’s dynamic business environment, organizations need robust frameworks to measure and manage performance effectively. The Balanced Scorecard (BSC), introduced by Robert Kaplan and David Norton in the early 1990s, has emerged as a comprehensive tool that goes beyond traditional financial metrics to incorporate broader aspects of organizational performance.
Unlike traditional systems, the Balanced Scorecard provides a balanced view by integrating financial and non-financial performance measures. This holistic approach ensures that all critical aspects of an organization’s performance are monitored and managed.
