Translate your strategies into Balanced Score Cards
(BSC)
Translating the Strategy into Balanced Scorecards is
the second stage in Creating a Strategy-Focused
Organization
After guiding the Senior Leadership Team through cycles
of analysis, research, and animated discussions
punctuated by periods of quiet reflection during the
first stage of “Designing
the Strategy”; designing the Strategy Maps and
the Balanced Scorecard becomes an interesting next
challenge for the Senior Leaders.
Strategy Map
A Strategy Map provides a visual representation that
tells the story of the organization and describes the
logic of the strategy. It is the missing link between
strategy formulation and strategy execution.
On the Strategy Map, the Corporate Goals and Objectives
are distributed into the following four Perspectives:
The Strategy Map also shows the cause-and-effect
linkages between Vision, Corporate Goals and various
Objectives that are distributed into various Themes.
CLCI uses special software to create Strategy Map in
full color. The Strategy Map is displayed with pride in
boardrooms, offices, as well as distributed to the
staff, suppliers and vendors.

The Balanced Scorecard
The Balanced Scorecard is a Performance Measurement tool
to assess progress toward the Corporate Goals.
CLCI helps create the Corporate Balanced Scorecard to
provide the vital link between Vision, Mission, Values,
Corporate Goals and Critical Success Factors on the one
hand, and the Operational Objectives, Measures, Targets,
Initiatives and Action Items on the other. Also
identified on the Balanced Scorecard are the Sponsors
and Owners of Corporate Goals, Objectives and
Initiatives.
The Balanced Scorecard helps in communicating,
motivating, empowering employees, funding Initiatives
and rewarding progress made toward Corporate Goals. A
Balanced Scorecard is also used in a variety of other
ways:
-
Clarifying strategy and making
strategy operational
-
Driving strategy execution
-
Identifying and aligning
strategic initiatives
-
Linking budget with strategy
-
Aligning the organization with
strategy
-
Conducting periodic strategic
performance reviews

CLCI helps clients define the leading and lagging
measures for the objectives on the Balanced Scorecard.
CLCI uses specially designed software to load the
Balanced Scorecard data for easy tracking and monitoring
of progress made in implementing the Corporate Goals,
Objectives and Initiatives.
CLCI also trains selected staff members from the
organization to work as BSC Coordinators for their
departments.
In the process of working together to research /
explore, analyze, debate, understand, discover, measure
and decide what employees must do together to realize
the Vision, inter departmental silos automatically break
down, and a new culture of being a Strategy-Focused
Organization.
The Senior Leadership Team and the Management Groups
then move to the next stage of: Implementing
Strategy.
