A balanced scorecard (BSC) is a tool that helps measure and communicate the performance of an organization or a function in relation to its strategy and objectives. A BSC typically includes four perspectives: financial, customer, internal process, and learning and growth. A BSC can help a CIO to make improvements to the enterprise’s IT governance by defining the IT vision, mission, goals, and metrics that align with the business needs and expectations. A BSC can also help demonstrate the expected benefits from proposed changes by showing how they will affect the IT performance indicators and outcomes in each perspective. A BSC can provide a clear and comprehensive picture of the current and desired state of IT governance, as well as the gaps and opportunities for improvement.
