often I disagree with you –and perhaps I am being pedantic-<span
style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>but strictly speaking the originators of
Balanced Scorecard have confessed that its spirit was intended to show that the
quadrants of customer, learning and competitor could be translated back into
MBA measurements and business case numbers as usual – at least I remember
reading such a bookmark and if its really important to provide that evidence
I’d happily search for 2 hours or until I find it. At the end of the day
a balanced scorecard averages and <span class=SpellE>linearises</span> its
outputs in ways that look historically precise, which has nothing to do with
what will happen or be innovated next (even though any relationship system is
spinning growth or destruction depending how the people (relationships) in it
have been treated over time)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

performance of a self-organising system is leading to (or any company where
people are the heroes) in numbers (however many professors try or say you can)
though you can provide maps to keep on iteratively editing for everyone to
participate in which is what you should be governing the future of your most
precious human links around<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

balanced scorecard can be used to open another door of management thinking but
it certainly isn’t the measurement of that…and living systems like
the human body – so I am told – are only ever balanced the second
before they die (which may show that the professors didn’t really know
the territory they were naming)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
