Balanced Scorecard

Balanced Scorecard is a strategy execution framework. When compiling video reviews, we’ve tried to capture how different tools automate key parts of the Balanced Scorecard – Strategy Maps and KPIs.

Different Perspectives

To reflect different points of view, we searched for official videos by vendors as well as some videos recorded by real users of software.

Pricing and Verified Reviews

To help you shortlist the strategy scorecards solutions we included some pricing information (if provided publicly by software vendor) as well as links to the verified user reviews.
