Balanced Scorecard:
The term "scorecard" signifies quantified performance measures and "balanced" signifies that the system is balanced between:

  • short-term objectives and long-term objectives
  • financial measures and non-financial measures
  • lagging indicators and leading indicators
  • internal performance and external performance perspectives

Traditional financial performance metrics provide information about a firm's past results, but are not well-suited for predicting future performance or for implementing and controlling the firm's strategic plan.  Click here for more information.

Visual Dashboards
A dashboard is one level down in the business decision-making process from a scorecard.  It is less focused on strategic objectives and more tied to specific operational goals which may directly contribute to one or more higher level strategic objectives.  Within a dashboard, execution of the operational goal itself becomes the focus, not the higher level strategy.  The purpose of a dashboard is to provide actionable business information in a format that is both intuitive and insightful. Dashboards leverage operational data primarily in the form of Metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Click here for more information.

Due Diligence
Due diligence assessments provide information which can be used when crafting lending or investment instruments for the benefit of lending, investing, or evaluating a prospect for an acquisition or merger. Projects typically focus on answering market positioning questions, execution capabilities, attainability of the business plan and projections, cash flow forecast, and advisability of the lender or investor to proceed with the transaction under consideration.
