The Balanced Scorecard Framework revolutionizes performance measurement by combining financial and non-financial metrics. It aligns company strategy with day-to-day operations, giving managers a holistic view of organizational health and enabling data-driven decision-making.

This framework uses four key perspectives: financial, customer, internal processes, and learning and growth. By balancing these areas, companies can track progress towards strategic goals, identify improvement opportunities, and drive long-term success.
