For organizational leaders to get the most out of their business and people, they must understand what drives business results and how to measure contribution at the individual level.

“Scorecards” are highly effective business tools that can be used to link organizational profitability and productivity with the performance of the individual.

By understanding what key measurements drive bottom-line performance improvement, employees and managers can keep score, using these measurements to determine whether they are winning or losing each day in the individual areas of contribution.

Scorekeeping using scorecards is about:

  • Clarifying and communicating the primary goal of the organization in terms that are relevant and related to individuals’ roles and job functions.
  • Tying everyone’s individual contributions to the organization’s deliverables and finding the best way to measure their effectiveness against those objectives.
  • Building an accountable culture and making work meaningful.
