## About

# Balanced Scorecard Skill

This skill applies the Balanced Scorecard framework to translate strategy into action through four perspectives.

## Theoretical Foundation

### Origin
The Balanced Scorecard was developed by **Robert Kaplan** and **David Norton** (Harvard Business Review, 1992) to balance financial metrics with drivers of future performance.

### Four Perspectives

| Perspective | Focus | Question |
|-------------|-------|----------|
| **Financial** | Shareholder value | "How do we look to shareholders?" |
| **Customer** | Customer satisfaction | "How do customers see us?" |
| **Internal Process** | Operational excellence | "What must we excel at?" |
| **Learning & Growth** | Innovation and improvement | "Can we continue to improve?" |

### Strategy Map
Cause-and-effect relationships linking perspectives:
Learning → Process → Customer → Financial

### When to Use
- Strategic planning
- Performance management
- Executive dashboards
- Organizational alignment
- Investment justification

## Instructions

### Step 1: Define Strategic Objectives
For each perspective:
- What are we trying to achieve?
- How does it connect to strategy?

### Step 2: Identify Measures
For each objective:
- What metric indicates success?
- What is the data source?

### Step 3: Set Targets
For each measure:
- What is the current baseline?
- What is the target?

### Step 4: Plan Initiatives
For each objective:
- What actions will achieve the objective?
- Who owns each initiative?

### Step 5: Create Strategy Map
Visualize cause-and-effect across perspectives

### Step 6: Generate Document
**File path**: `02-reports/[YYYYMMDD]-balanced-scorecard-v0.md`

| Perspective | Objective | Measure | Target | Initiative |
|-------------|-----------|---------|--------|------------|
| Financial | [Obj] | [KPI] | [Target] | [Action] |
| Customer | [Obj] | [KPI] | [Target] | [Action] |
| Process | [Obj] | [KPI] | [Target] | [Action] |
| Learning | [Obj] | [KPI] | [Target] | [Action] |
