Balanced Scorecard Concept
The balanced scorecard (BSC) design process is built upon a set of
premises:
• Strategy is a hypothesis
it makes certain assumptions about outcomes that can be achieved
• Strategy can be described as a set of cause-and-effect
relationships
the causal chain can be made explicit and testable
• Strategy requires the definition of activities that are the drivers
(or lead indicators) of desired outcomes
the organization can influence the drivers to achieve outcomes of interest

Balanced Scorecard Concept
The BSC is, among many things, a strategic performance
management tool.
It is a semi-standard structured report, supported by proven
design methods and automation tools, that can be used by
managers to keep track of the execution of activities by the
staff within their control and to monitor the consequences
arising from these actions.
It is divided in a minimum of 4 perspectives.

Barriers of BSC Implementation
• Vision: only 5% understands the company’s strategy;
• People: only 25% of the companies gives incentive due to
the strategy's achievement;
• Resources: only 40% of the companies add financial
resources to improve strategy;
• Management: 85% of the managers spend less than an
hour per month discussing the strategy.

Implementation Strategy
• Services oriented implementation strategy;
• Everyone has a client, so along all levels, even individually, we
have:
• Mission;
• Vision;
• Strategy;
• Goals;
• Metrics.
• Top – Bottom Definition Process;
• Bottom - Up Implementation Process.

BSC Definition Process
1. Define Mission, Values, Vision and Strategy
2. Define Strategic themes (a way of organizing your
strategy)
3. Create strategic maps for each theme
4. Relate Strategic Themes (Goals and Indicators)
5. Identify the interest groups and relate them with the
different perspectives/themes.

BSC Implementation Results
(Until Now)

is composed of a number of weighted
strategic KPIs for each perspective
there is a vision, mission statement, values
and strategy represented on the BSC
the construction of this scorecard consists of
the aggregation of several area/department
scorecards

Conclusion (1/2)
The balanced scorecard (BSC) allows us to link all the
measurement levels within the company.
The definition and implementation processes are good
strategic exercises:
• Who’s my client?
• What is the input and the output of my activities?
• How do I contribute to the companies' strategy?
It creates the best conditions for a company with a CMMI
maturity level to ML2 or ML3 to grow or maintain ML4.

32. Balanced Scorecard for CMMI
An Implementation Roadmap
Conclusion (2/2)
It can only be implemented in a company if:
• the strategy is defined;
• the tool adds value and is used;
• everyone can read and understand the BSC;
• the necessary metrics are set;
• the numbers are reliable and available;
• the numbers represent the scope to be monitored;
• there is commitment from everyone to the implementation;
• enough time has passed so that everything has been refined and
reviewed over and over again.
