    • 41. Next: Moving Beyond the Company’s Overall Scorecard
    • 42. Departmental and Personal ScorecardsEach department develops its own scorecard based on the company’s overall scorecard.Each employee develops his or her scorecard based on the company’s and department’s scorecard.
    • 43. Departmental and Personal ScorecardsScorecards must be closely aligned with overall company goals and objectives.Each objective must be aligned.Each measure must be aligned.
    • 44. Each Perspective Must be AddressedSet objectives for each perspective.Set basis for measurement for each objective.This allows managers and employees to focus on the success of each perspective.It also keeps them from focusing on one perspective while neglecting another.
    • 45. Implementing the Balanced ScorecardThe push to implement must come from top management.Managers must buy in.It takes 15 to 36 months in large organizations.
    • 46. Possible Pitfalls of the Balanced ScorecardSenior management not committedOne senior manager tries to build the scorecard aloneScorecard responsibilities don’t filter downThe solution is overdesigned, or scorecard treated as a one-time eventThe balanced scorecard is treated as a systems projectAnthony Atkinson, Robert Kaplan, S.
