Balanced scorecard

Use our selection of books, articles, links and guides to gain insights, inform your decision-making and find more information and guidance on the balanced scorecard.

In their original article (The balanced scorecard: Measures that drive performance. Harvard Business Review, January/February 1992) Kaplan and Norton described the balanced scorecard as 'a set of measures that give top managers a fast but comprehensive view of the business'.

Ten years on Kaplan and Norton reassessed the impact of their system, stating that in this time it had "evolved from a performance measurement system to an organizing framework for successful strategy implementation" (Transforming the balanced scorecard from performance measurement to strategic management. Accounting Horizons, June 2001). Today, the balanced scorecard has been reimagined for the environmental, social and governance (ESG) era.
