4、on the internet at Revised: February 4, 2002Basic Concepts Accountants communicate with financial statements. Engineers communicate with as-built drawings. Architects communicate with physical models. It seems that almost every profession has some means of communicating clearly to the end user. How
5、ever, for people engaged in strategic planning there has been an on-going dilemma. The finished product, the strategic plan, has not communicated and reached the end user. Sure strategic plans are nice to look at, full of bar charts, nice covers, well written, and professionally prepared; but they s
6、imply have not impacted the people who must execute the strategic plan. The end result has been poor execution of the strategic plan throughout the entire organization. And the sad fact of the matter is that execution of the strategic plan is everybodys business, not just upper level management. Upp
7、er level management creates the strategy, but execution takes place from the bottom up. Chapter1So why do strategic plans fail? According to the Balanced Scorecard Collaborative, there are four barriers to strategic implementation:1. Vision Barrier No one in the organization understands the strategi
8、es of the organization.2. People Barrier Most people have objectives that are not linked to the strategy of the organization.3. Resource Barrier Time, energy, and money are not allocated to those things that are critical to the organization. For example, budgets are not linked to strategy, resulting
9、 in wasted resources.4. Management Barrier Management spends too little time on strategy and too much time on short-term tactical decision-making.Only 5% of the workforce understands their company strategy.Only 25% of managers have incentives linked to strategy.60% of organizations dont link budgets
10、 to strategy.86% of executive teams spend less than one hour per month discussing strategy. Balanced Scorecard Collaborative Therefore, we need a new way of communicating strategy to the end-user. Enter the Balanced Scorecard. At long last, strategic planners now have a crisp and clear way of commun
11、icating strategy. With balanced scorecards, strategy reaches everyone in a language that makes sense. When strategy is expressed in terms of measurements and targets, the employee can relate to what must happen. This leads to much better execution of strategy. Not only does the Balanced Scorecard tr
12、ansform how the strategic plan is expressed, but it also pulls everything together. This is the so-called “cause and effect” relationship or linking of all elements together. For example, if you want strong financial results, you must have great customer service. If you want great customer service,
13、you must have excellent processes in place (such as Customer Relations Management). If you want great processes, you must have the right people, knowledge, and systems (intellectual capital). In the past, many components for implementing a strategic plan have been managed separately, not collectivel
14、y within one overall management system. As a result, everything has moved in different directions, leading to poor execution of the strategic plan. Like a marching band, everyone needs to move in lockstep behind one overall strategy. Therefore, you should think of the Balanced Scorecard as a managem
15、ent system, not just another performance measurement program. And since strategy is at the center of value-creation for the organization, the Balanced Scorecard has become a critical management system for any organization. In 1997, Harvard Business Review called the Balanced Scorecard one of the most significant business developments of the previous 75 years. Balanced Scorecards provide the framework around which an organization changes through the execution of its strategy. This is accomplished by linking everything together. This is what makes the Balanced Scorecard so different; it
