PERFORMANCE SCORECARDS
"This is the best book
I've read on performance measurement-and I've read a lot. Finally, a practical book that
not only tells you why, but also tells you where, when, and how through an easily read and
engaging story that flows throughout the book. I would give Performance Scorecards a 10 on
every dimension-understandable, highly readable, and most of all, practical!"
-Jack Grayson, chairman,
American Productivity & Quality Center
"If you want a practical
framework for focusing on the critical elements of success through measures, this book is
for you. It makes a complex subject-developing and cascading a scorecard of
measures-easy to understand and easy to apply."
-Tina Sung, president and
CEO, American Society for Training and Development (ASTD)
"Business schools too
often fail to provide students with an integrated, systematic view of the corporation and
the tools to definitively link strategic plans, operations, and business results. Both
shortcomings are eliminated by Performance Scorecards. This book should be required
reading for all current and former MBA students."
-P. George Benson, dean,
Terry College of Business, University of Georgia
"Any business leader who
is serious about measuring the real drivers of performance should read this book. The
authors clearly understand the speed of business and they've designed an approach with
that in mind. The message is straightforward, sensible, and practical."
-John Cone', vice
president. Dell Learning, Dell Computer Corporation
"Performance Scorecards
is a must read for corporate leaders trying to wade through the reams of data and
information that hit their in-baskets on a daily basis. Establishing a scorecard that
accurately measures a company's strategic goals and objectives is the only way to know if
and when your company, your department, or your work group is successful. This book
provides a clear and concise guide to developing such a scorecard."

customer services, FedEx Corporation
