About BSCol

Balanced Scorecard Collaborative is a Palladium company and dedicated to the worldwide awareness, use, enhancement, and integrity of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as a value-added management process.

About the Balanced Scorecard

The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) concept was created by Drs. Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton in 1992, and has been implemented in thousands of corporations, organizations, and government agencies worldwide. The Balanced Scorecard allows organizations to implement strategy rapidly and effectively by integrating the measurement system with the management system. Based on the simple premise that “measurement motivates,” the Balanced Scorecard has been integral to the success of organizations throughout the world.

The Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame includes such notable organizations as CIGNA P&C, National Reconnaissance Office, Wells Fargo Bank, Mobil USM&R, Hilton Hotels, City of Charlotte, UPS, all of who have achieved breakthrough results through the Balanced Scorecard. The BSC has been the subject of four articles in the Harvard Business Review; two best-selling business books that have been translated into 21 languages and numerous case studies and public conferences. The editors of Harvard Business Review identified the BSC as one of the most significant ideas of the past 75 years.
