It connects business goal, behavior change, and measures.Balanced Scorecard translates strategy into a few interconnected perspectives and metrics. It holds impact, steering, and learning together in daily work instead of narrowing strategy down to financial figures.When a headline metric could mask side effects, it adds guardrail signals against unwanted outcomes.
