day to day activities and tasks
 concentrate on the tactical decisions
and neglect the strategic ones
 must make important decisions, quickly,
with greater consequences, and often
with limited information on hand

customers

capabilities are
and organizational
required

Scorecard

23. KPIs: Four Types of
Measures
 Short and Long Term
 Internal (business processes) and
External (shareholders,customers)
 Leading and Lagging
 Objective (financial) and Subjective
(non-financial)

24. How should KPIs be used?
 Communication
 Informing
 Diagnostic
 Learning
 NOT controlling

25. Diagnostic versus Strategic
 Diagnostic measurements: monitor
whether something is in control.
 Strategic measurements: define a
strategy for competitive excellence and
future success
A Balanced Scorecard is a
strategic measurement system.

reason
 Goal: Reduce turnover by 10% (from 16.6% to
