Performance measurement options for the Balanced Scorecard

Solution Preview

When a company implements a balanced scorecard approach, it's an investment of its time and efforts to marry traditional measures with more qualitative insights; the numbers can never tell the whole story: you need both quantitative and qualitative aspects in a strategy mapping to tell both the WHAT and the WHY.
For your assignment, you're asked to choose a service industry organization. While there are so many service industries to choose from, from dentists to accountants to amusement park operations, a good suggestion may be to choose a relatively straightforward industry that offers a large number of potential performance measures. The first one that personally comes to my mind is a restaurant, although hospitality (hotels), and any of the professions or organizations mentioned above certainly satisfy the assignment. Use your own background, experience, and knowledge to decide what service industry you'd like to use.
As a general example, we'll use a restaurant in order to be able to fully think and work through the balanced scorecard process.
We know that the four categories (perspectives) on the balanced scorecard are: (1) Financial, (2) Customer, (3) Internal Process, and (4) Learning from Growth/Organizational Capacity. In the Strategy mapping portion of a full balanced scorecard assessment, these categories layer from #1 to #4 (top to bottom) with objectives in each category that help achieve the objectives in the next higher level. Your assignment focuses on the performance measures you'd choose to satisfy those objectives, but it's a good idea to keep the overall strategy/vision from that segment in mind when choosing the most meaningful KPIs.
Assume your scenario is a restaurant that wants to improve its profitability and you'll be performing the analysis over the course of six months. Also assume that you're focusing on its dinner service only. Your boss has asked you to identify two performance measures for each of the categories that will provide valuable insight and an ongoing status of how well the restaurant is achieving its goals (implementing the objectives from the Strategy Mapping). You'll have to present these two measures per category, along with an explanation of each, and finally, how the use of the balanced scorecard can increase the value-add to the organization.
