>Making the Balanced Scorecard Approach Payoff
http://www.zigonperf.com/PMNews/making_bsc_payoff.html
The best way to get a work force's attention about corporate focus is to
link achievement of the desired results directly to rewards. This also is
true for the "balanced scorecard" technique. Results of a new study show
that a strong linkage to compensation has helped to promote a more rapid
and robust pace for change in organizations that have been most
successful in implementing the balanced scorecard approach. ACA Journal,
6/99.
