Why Adopt a Balanced Scorecard?
Change – Formulate and communicate a new strategy for a more competitive environment
Alignment – Each staff member’s actions are guide by the strategies and goals of the library
Focus – Provides management with a tool for monitoring progress towards achieving the library's vision
![Page 9: The Library Balanced Scorecard: The Results Please!](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c8c550346895dca9e07/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Starting Point
Mission Statement (the present) Values Statement The Vision (the future) Service responses (PLA Planning for Results) The gap between now and the
future leads to a plan of action to achieve the vision. How we get to the future involves strategies.

The Failure of Strategy
"You can either take actionor wait for a miracle to happen. Miracles are great butthey are unpredictable."
Peter Drucker

Barriers to Strategic Implementation
9 of 10 companies
fail to execute
strategy
The Vision BarrierOnly 5% of staff members
understands the strategy
The Management Barrier85% of top management teams
spend less than 1 hour
per month discussing strategy
The People BarrierOnly 25% of managers have
incentives linked to strategy
The Resource Barrier60% of organizations don’t link
budgets to strategy
![Page 13: The Library Balanced Scorecard: The Results Please!](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c8c550346895dca9e07/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
is largely about
accomplishing more with less,
and that requires focus!

For Most Public Libraries
Strategy = Tradition!
Full Service Library (& vary size) vs. Specific Function Libraries
![Page 21: The Library Balanced Scorecard: The Results Please!](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c8c550346895dca9e07/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Strategies translate what
customers want
into what libraries must deliver!
![Page 22: The Library Balanced Scorecard: The Results Please!](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c8c550346895dca9e07/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Strategies answer the question:
“How is the library going to
deliver services?”
![Page 23: The Library Balanced Scorecard: The Results Please!](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c8c550346895dca9e07/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Strategy Is A Hypothesis About What Drives Organizational
Success
Mission
Vision
Customer Requirements
Strategy
Operations
Results or Outcomes
Identify the key performance drivers that lead to successful strategy execution

Interrelationships Strategy maps tell where we are going
and why
Scorecards explain how well we are doing and provide guidance for what can be next
Budgets tell how we allocate resources
![Page 26: The Library Balanced Scorecard: The Results Please!](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c8c550346895dca9e07/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Performance Measures Problems
Too many measures and no focus
Entrenched or no measurement systems
Unjustified trust in informal feedback systems
Fuzzy objectives
![Page 27: The Library Balanced Scorecard: The Results Please!](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c8c550346895dca9e07/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Performance Measures
Should be a combination of:
Leading and lagging measures Financial & non-financial measures Input, process, output and
outcome measures Internal & external measures
![Page 28: The Library Balanced Scorecard: The Results Please!](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c8c550346895dca9e07/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Select Measures
that reflect on the strategieschosen by the library
![Page 29: The Library Balanced Scorecard: The Results Please!](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c8c550346895dca9e07/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Scorecard Measures
3-4 measures per perspective Simple rather than complex
measures Automated or existing measures New measures Rely on staff counts as a last resort
![Page 30: The Library Balanced Scorecard: The Results Please!](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c8c550346895dca9e07/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Thus, the scorecard assists the libraryin selecting the “right data” – data that reflects the library’s strategies.
![Page 31: The Library Balanced Scorecard: The Results Please!](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c8c550346895dca9e07/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Targets
The 80% rule
SWAG targets
Stretch targets (BHAG)
Organizations that use targets improve performance by an average of 16%
![Page 32: The Library Balanced Scorecard: The Results Please!](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c8c550346895dca9e07/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Select Initiatives Have an impact on achieving your
strategies
Identify responsible individual, implementation schedule, resources required, budgetary implications
Look for ways to eliminate it, simplify it, or automate it
![Page 33: The Library Balanced Scorecard: The Results Please!](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c8c550346895dca9e07/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Knowing the score is not the objective –
changing it is.

Sustaining the Scorecard Management’s Focus – use the
scorecard to drive meeting agendas
Develop a “culture of assessment”
Cascade the scorecard
Communicate your scorecard

Scorecard = Change
![Page 39: The Library Balanced Scorecard: The Results Please!](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c8c550346895dca9e07/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Remember!
The Library Balanced Scorecard is about
management and change first;
the use of performance measures
is second.
