Hi,

I am in need of some practical data on Balanced Score Card Method for measuring Individual Performance. We have a KPI based system of appraisals and want to further strengthen it by introducing BSC measurement method. Would request all those who have already implemented this method to measure their employee's performance, to please share the practical details with me. I have the conceptual data on BSC.

Regards,

tara

Hi Tara!

Its great to know that many organizations are switching to the BSC system.

I work in a financial institution and its our 3rd year of the BSC implementation. Trust me, its far better than the old performance appraisal.

Offcourse, its not that easy to implement the BSC as the concept of objective target setting & evaluation may not fit in well in the minds of the workforce.

Therefore, the process needs to be done step by step.

Also, you might face difficulty in setting the objective KPIs / KRAs & Targets for the support functions like HR,Administration etc.

Regards,

Vinayak.

When implementing the BSC it is very critical that the top management not only buys the process but also acts as a champion of the process. All top managers must be subject to goal setting/appraisal using the BSC. If top management and even the board (if applicable) is wishy washy about the initiative then you will encounter massive resistance which will make it very difficult to implement the BSC. 

So i recommend that one you have sensitized your employees through training, the first cadre to use the system must be the CEO and direct reports. This way a message is sent to the direct reports and others down the hierachy that the organisation is serious about the BSC, and this isnt just another HR initiative.

Another observation i have is, since the BSC is quite complex compared to traditional appraisal systems, the training must be tailored carefully and the trainer must take enough time to ensure that everyone understands the concept and its application.Do not rush the training e.g. two hour session, you may end up with a disaster. During the training build in as many practical examples and role plays as possible.

Regards,

Patrick
