1.4 - Discuss the concept of balanced strategic planning and the approach outlined by the Balanced Performance Scorecard. What are the five common principles associated with implementing the balanced approach to strategic planning?
The idea of having balanced strategic planning outlined by the balanced performance scorecard is to allow organizations to implement strategy rapidly and with great efficiency by integrating the measurement system with the management system. The balanced performance scorecard converts an organizations vision and strategy into a number of action measures that provide the basis for a strategic management and measurement system. The balanced scorecard approaches strategy from four complementary perspectives: financial, customer, internal process, and learning and growth.
The five common principles associated with implementing the balanced approach to strategic planning are :-
1. Translate the strategy into operational terms.
2. Align the organization to strategy.
