The Balanced Scorecard is a management system. Its a way of looking at your organization that focuses on your big-picture strategic goals. It also helps you choose the right things to measure so that you can reach those goals.

1. Using the four perspectives, design a balanced scorecard for the organization you either work for or volunteer.
2. All of your strategic objectives should begin with an action word (Improve, Reduce, Increase, Optimize, Maximize, Minimize are examples.)
3. Complete your strategy map and identify the relationships among the strategy objectives you determined.
