Why Nonprofits Need a Balanced Scorecard |
| |
In this article, author, management consultant and Balanced Scorecard expert Paul Niven argues that there is great pressure on nonprofit organizations to build new and improved performance measurement systems so that they can deliver transparency and accountability that is being demanded. The Balanced Scorecard can be the system that provides real insights into a nonprofit's operations and helps it focus on performance and strategy implementation. While many nonprofits have recognized the inherent benefits of the Balanced Scorecard, there is a reluctance to embrace the tool. |

The United States Postal
Service (USPS) |

|
| |
 |
The US Postal Service has over 700,000 employees and delivers 212 billion pieces of |
| mail annually to over 144 million destinations. Surprisingly, the strategic performance of such a huge organization is managed through a corporate Balanced Scorecard with only five goals and 10 measures. The USPS Strategic Planning team believes that the sheer size of the organization required the articulation of the fewest possible objectives, so that things are kept simple. |

What words are you using in your
strategy plan? |
| |
|
| |
 |
| |
| I read a lot of strategy documents and most of them are written using common language. Words like the best, outstanding, leading, world class, and international have different meaning to different people. |
