What is an I.S. Scorecard?
According to...
– Gartner: “A multi-dimensional, linked set of metrics used to
define, measure and modify performance”.
– Kaplan/Norton: “A set of measures that gives top managers a
fast but comprehensive view of the business” .
Two issues inherent with a scorecard:
– linkage: linking measures to drivers
– balance: balancing the interests of key stakeholders

Why Create an I.S. Scorecard?
To demonstrate the value added by the I.S. Organization
To guide the creation of I.S. strategic plans which link into
operational plans
To establish a balanced set of measures to determine I.S.
effectiveness
To communicate and motivate I.S. performance in key
areas
To establish a framework for I.S. Management reporting
An I.S. Scorecard, supported by key stakeholders,
should become an I.S. governance “best practice”.

Is it Worth It?
For some….it depends if…
The value of the I.S. scorecard outweighs the cost of
its implementation
There is commitment from all involved (top executives
and down the organization)
For ME….ABSOLUTELY

Concept of Benchmarking
Relevance depends on the value being sought by the
business i.e. commodity service vs. strategic contribution
-- not applicable for strategic contributions --
Benchmarking I.S.
Benchmarking Projects
No single expression of
value for comparison
Productivity and quality are the
main areas typically addressed

Concept of I.S. Alignment
Concept of alignment is only meaningful where
there is a clearly articulated business strategy
Aligning I.S.
Aligning Projects
As a strategic partner, the
strategy, vision, and
measures of success and
value should be
created jointly.
Project selection process must
incorporate an evaluation
mechanism which reflects key
business goals and their
relative importance.

Acceptance of Measures
Acceptance of measures is not only a question of
facts but of trust and perception.
I.S. must build its relationship with the business to build
its trust, credibility and influence.
Fundamental to building a relationship between I.S. and
the business.
I.S. must learn to market its capabilities and successes.
