DRIVE PROGRESS

An organizational scorecard process offers a way to measure what matters and focus teams on bringing excellence to life. The scorecard is the roadmap for how an organization will accomplish the broad aims in its strategic plan. It drives progress by moving all department and unit arrows in the same direction and helps our teams understand their purpose and how their work matters.

COMMUNICATION TOOL

The results scorecard communicates goals and progress to internal and external stakeholders. The tool clearly and concisely provides the most relevant and important information about goals and progress, often eliminating the need for additional probing and misunderstanding of the organization’s priority actions and results. It assists leaders in communicating the value of what the organization does and the impact on those served.

WORKING TOOL

When used as a working tool, the results scorecard moves the organization from operational silos to an interconnected system through a data-driven, goal-setting process. The scorecard is a working tool that brings focus by offering a plan on a page. Goals, measures, and strategic actions are aligned throughout the organization as the results scorecard is consistently reviewed and discussed by leaders and teams.

Not new – better

Though an organizational results scorecard process may look and feel different when first applied, chances are the organization has always had goals and some way of tracking progress. This process provides organizations with a framework and structure for getting tighter around what is most important and better at clearly defining and leading our teams to success.
