Balanced Scorecard

What is a Balanced Scorecard?

A strategy management framework that tracks performance across financial and non-financial dimensions, not just revenue.

The Balanced Scorecard is a strategic framework developed to help organizations measure performance across multiple dimensions at once. Instead of focusing only on financial outcomes, it usually tracks four perspectives: financial, customer, internal process, and learning or growth.

Compared with OKRs, a Balanced Scorecard is more stable and executive-oriented. It is useful for monitoring strategic health over time, while OKRs are better for driving focused change over a quarter or operating cycle.
