Dal risvolto di copertina interno

Despite a daily deluge of reports, e-mails, and briefings, most business leaders can't tell whether their organizations are winning or losing. That's because the pressures of modern management have left them with less time than ever before to analyze, interpret, and act on the information available to them. Performance Scorecards help these busy leaders slice through the information glut to reduce the time they have to spend deciphering data and increase their ability to make the right business decisions.Like an airplane's control panel or an automobile's dashboard, scorecards help businesses stay on course by providing a comprehensive view of their activities and performance. But while other scorecards track a predetermined set of indicators, Performance Scorecards can be customized to measure the factors specific to an individual organization's progress, providing a greater degree of flexibility than ever before. Managers can use Performance Scorecards to gauge sales, employee satisfaction, quality--whatever factors most influence their own company's success.In this book, Richard Chang and Mark Morgan, who together have more than forty years of organizational measurement experience, use the story of fictional manager Vince Sharp to give readers an accessible and jargon-free introduction to the benefits of this flexible measurement method. They combine a compelling narrative with informative examples and graphics to clearly demonstrate how to develop Performance Scorecards, apply their techniques, and avoid common obstacles to their use.Along with Vince, readers learn how Performance Scorecards can help them focus on the measures that matter to their own customers, employees, and stakeholders--and implement the right measures in the right places at the right times.
