Six Sigma Balanced Scorecards typically include four areas of strategic focus, including financial sustainability, customer experience, internal processes and structures, and workforce culture, learning, and development. Focusing on these four overarching components gives you a balanced perspective of your organization’s health. It also provides a methodology for breaking down a large-scale vision and strategy into categories and activities that become actionable and measurable. Balanced Scorecards are unique in that they help you visualize in a straightforward manner how an organization’s high-level strategy drives the day-to-day priorities and desired outcomes and the measure of your success along the way.

Specific tools used to create Six Sigma Balanced Scorecards typically include a one-page graphic or template that connects the organization’s mission, vision, values, strategic goals/priorities, initiatives, key performance indicators, and timeframes for implementation. Get started with our Six Sigma Balanced Scorecard template.  

How to use it:

2. Write the initiatives that support the goals and the metrics that will be used to measure their success. 
3. Add the target metrics that you will ideally achieve.​
