Direction, purpose, and priorities are connected so teams can decide more coherently.A Strategy Map translates strategy into a few connected objectives across perspectives such as finance, customers, processes, and learning. This makes visible which capabilities and activities are meant to drive which results.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 metrics across the organization drift apart, it arranges drivers and effects under one shared logic.
