Strategy is the Starting Point
We define strategy as an integrated set of actions consistent with a long-term vision of the business, to
deliver value to a chosen set of customers with a cost structure that allows continued excellent returns. In
this definition, every business is a value delivery system.

Outputs, Outcomes, and Inputs
Outcomes first choice for all perspectivesIncreased life expectancySafety and securityImproved quality of life
Outputs as proxiesIncreased number of immunizationsCrime ratesBusiness formation
Inputs as proxiesExpenditures on health careNumber of health clinics constructedNumber of police on the streets

Vision & Strategy
![Page 20: Using the Balanced Scorecard to Measure Government Performance](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030320/586a6e911a28abf7678b98d2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The balanced scorecard approach has benefited organizations for a number of reasons
Focuses on outcomesMeasures from each perspective counterbalance measures from others
Customer and costMission and customerOrganizational learning and cost
Balances internal and external perspectives, leading and laggingindicators, and short- and long-term objectivesProvides a foundation of continuous improvementLimits the proliferation of measures
![Page 21: Using the Balanced Scorecard to Measure Government Performance](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030320/586a6e911a28abf7678b98d2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Organizations often have difficulty linking long term strategic objectives to short term day to day actions
Performance measures that focus on financial impacts only may bear little relation to achievement of long term strategic objectives
The financial focus alone may leave a gap between the organization’s strategic direction and its implementation plans
The balanced scorecard enables managers to introduce management processes that link long term strategic objectives with short term actions
Managers have discovered that the balanced scorecard has additional value as a strategic management tool
