Is BSC Designer the Right Fit?
BSC Designer is a good fit for implementing a Balanced Scorecard or managing performance across teams when spreadsheets and basic KPI tools are no longer enough.
BSC Designer Is a Good Fit When…
- Your spreadsheet-based KPI or performance process has become difficult to maintain as metrics, teams, and reporting requirements grow.
- You need to connect goals and KPIs across teams or business units.
- You need structured KPI management with targets, formulas, weights, ownership, and regular updates.
- You need controlled access and accountability with clear ownership, permissions, and audit history.
A Simpler Tool May Be Enough When…
- Your performance process is simple, with few KPIs and little need to coordinate across teams.
- You mainly need task or project tracking rather than strategy management.
- You only need to record KPI values and review progress periodically.
When Excel Becomes Hard to Maintain
As performance tracking grows, spreadsheets become harder to keep organized.
| In Spreadsheets | In BSC Designer |
|---|---|
| KPI data is spread across files, making it hard to see the full picture. | Connect team and business-unit scorecards in one structure. |
| Historical KPI data becomes harder to organize and analyze over time. | Update KPIs while the platform keeps the history organized. |
| Before each review, data has to be collected from different files. | Work with up-to-date scorecards and reports. |
| Updates can be missed when overdue data is difficult to track. | Assign owners, set update intervals, and flag overdue KPIs. |
| User access is managed by sharing files or copies. | Control who can view or edit specific scorecards and KPIs. |
| Formulas and progress calculations can break. | Define calculations once and apply them consistently. |
Keep the process that already works. Remove the spreadsheet work around it.
