QPR ScoreCard

QPR ScoreCard communicatesstrategic performance.

The Balanced Scorecard is an organizational framework for implementing

and managing strategy at all levels of an enterprise, by linking objectives,

in i t iat ives , and measures to an organizat ion’s s t rategy. The scorecard

provides an enterprise view of an organization’s overall performance. It

integrates f inancial measures with other key per formance indicators

around customer perspectives, internal business processes, and organizational

growth, learning, and innovation. Since the concept was introduced in 1992,

balanced scorecards have been implemented at corporate, strategic business unit,

shared service function, and individual levels at hundreds of organizations —

in both the private and public sectors — worldwide.

“You must have a sophisticated way to move the balanced scorecard from concept toreality. QPR is that way for our organization.”— David Walker, Scorecard Project Manager with the American Red Cross,

Philadelphia, PA.

“From the software, I wanted the ability to manage the measures, add new measures,change measures, aggregate measures, and do it very quickly and easily. I also wanted tohave a way of presenting it, via the web, to all the employees of the organization. QPRScoreCard not only met these requirements but was also a very cost effective solution towhat we were looking for.”— Ben Patterson, Manager - Business Excellence, Unisys Pacific Development Laboratory.

“In order to provide performance measurement, like any measurement system, the resultsmust be accurate and repeatable. These results must be easy to understand and distribute.These reports must be understood the same way, regardless of who reads them. We havefound that QPR, with its drill-down capability, is both easy to understand and easy to getadditional information when required. With QPR, it has been easy to build proper reportsthat are on the Internet. There is no need to provide in-depth training on software forexecutives to get performance reports, grade performance, and to understand relationshipsbetween various internal processes.”— Chuck Salmond, Senior Consultant, Bearing Point, Federal Group.

“Our company started using BSC on paper last year, then adopted QPR ScoreCard to trackperformance this year. The tool provides an intuitive graphical interface which can belearned by busy managers in only an hour or two. This is a tribute to the effectiveness ofthe tool, as well as the consultants and trainers at Visum Solutions.”— Ray Holcomb, Senior Manager, Quality, Methods and Systems, ETAS Inc.

“With QPR ScoreCard, UNDP was able to communicate the strategy of our multi-culturalorganization in 133 countries and to commit every staff member to reach the strategicobjectives.”— Philippe Poinsot, Senior Planning Officer, UNDP
