WHAT IS A BUSINESS SCORECARD

A business scorecard is a management tool designed to monitor business performance against business goals. It facilitates the organisation to determine how actual performance is trending against business goals. In the event that a metric is under performing, it prompts the organisation to identify corrective actions to ensure that metric is brought under control to meet quarter or year end target. A sample scorecard is identified below.
