A
Balanced Scorecard allows a company to divide a vision, or overall objective
into the smaller pieces or necessary steps that will allow it to occur. These
pieces may be phases of the process, or the project from the perspective of
different departments of the company, but in any case it should be a continuing
cycle that will continue working towards a single overall goal.

The Balanced Scorecard is especially useful
when trying to communicate the role of a team or company in accomplishing the
overall mission. It can also be helpful in tracking the progress of a goal by
the specific parts that will make it possible.
Best Practices:
Determine the vision: Choose the objective
to be expressed and place it in the center of the page in some way that will
allow it to draw attention to itself, (i.e.: In a bold font or inside a small
circle.)
Determine the various parts: Elect
categories with which to divide the central objective such that each is
necessary to its completion and place each around the vision. These can be
different phases of the goal, such as planning, researching, marketing,
continuation, or different aspects of the goal, such as financial, internal,
publications, consumer, etc.
Add additional information to each part:
Within each large category, add more specific information. This could be steps
or actions that must occur, research that must be done, objectives, expected
spending, etc.
Connect each piece: Link each part to
another using arrows. Each part of the diagram may be numbered, depending on
the nature of the categories chosen. For an endless cycle, numbers may be
unnecessary, but if each part is a specific step, numbering could be quite
useful.
Share: Use the Balanced Scorecard to
demonstrate the vision and communicate to coworkers what part they play in the
vision.
