From the publisher

"Making Scorecards Actionable" ist der Nachfolgetitel zum Bestseller "Performance Drivers" vom gleichen Autor.

Hier stellt Autor Nils-Gran Olve einen neuen, praxisorientierten Ansatz zu Balanced Scorecard (BSC) vor und sttzt sich dabei auf umfangreiche praktische Erfahrungen internationaler Unternehmen.

Balanced Scorecard (BSC) ist nicht nur ein System zur Performance-Messung, denn es kann auch als dynamisches Managementsystem eingesetzt werden, das die Unternehmensstrategie sttzt, implementiert und vorantreibt. Strategie und Kontrolle sollen in einem ausgewogenen Verhltnis stehen.

Dieses auf der Scorecard-Methode basierende strategische Kontrollsystem konzentriert sich darauf, ein Gesamtbild zu entwerfen und an alle Mitglieder eines Unternehmens von oben nach unten zu kommunizieren.

Ziel ist eine langfristige Betrachtung der tatschlichen strategischen Unternehmensziele.

Es wird gezeigt, wie wichtig die Flexibilitt eines solchen strategischen Kontrollsystems ist, und wie man das durch Erfahrung erworbene Wissen nutzt, um auf die stndigen Vernderungen in der Unternehmensumgebung zu reagieren.

"Making Scorecards Actionable" demonstriert anschaulich, dass BSC ein wichtiges Tool ist, mit dessen Hilfe Unternehmen den "unsichtbaren Reichtum" erkennen knnen, der zu Zeiten wirtschaftlicher Unbestndigkeit mobilisiert werden kann, um neue Ertrge mit geringem Finanzaufwand zu erzielen.

First line

The concept of the balanced scorecard (BSC) was first presented in the early 1990s.

From the rear cover

Over the last decade the concept of the Balanced Scorecard has attracted attention around the world and has been widely, and enthusiastically, adopted by many organizations as a means to assure that intended strategies are realized. However, in their work as consultants and researchers, the authors have noted that all too often expectations have not been met in practice.

Following on from an earlier book (Performance Drivers, Olve, Roy and Wetter, Wiley 1999) this volume focuses on the hands-on experiences of companies across a broad range of organizations and the challenges that emerge as the scorecards are put into operation. If these challenges are not met they may hamper or even erode the implementation of scorecards - even though the concept as such is valid. Identifying achievements as well as failures, this book looks at the challenges encountered by successful companies when operating their scorecards, and shows how they manage these problems.

Based on the experiences of leading world companies such as Skandia, British Airways, Oriflame, Hewlett-Packard, Xerox, Ericsson, Scandinavian Airlines and others, the authors put forward a set of issues in designing scorecards and scorecard processes. If managed correctly, an organization is able to reap the benefits and realize the potential from its scorecard implementation.
