3. Based on the company’s strategic (i.e. long-term goals), develop a tactical plan to fulfill those goals.
4. Design, using the balanced scorecard framework, a balanced scorecard which could be used to evaluate the company’s performance at achieving the tactical plan you has developed.
a. Your scorecard must contain at least 3 metrics for each scorecard category
b. You must briefly explain why you selected each metric.
5. Using a format similar to the one I demonstrated, develop a causal map which shows the interrelationships between the metrics you have selected (i.e. how an improvement in one leads to an improvement in the others).
