Balanced Scorecard for Schools

While the Balanced Scorecard was originally developed for use in commercial and corporate environments, the approach can offer significant benefits to non-profit related organisations, including charities, public sector bodies and schools. Educational institutions are often under a huge amount of pressure to deliver better grades on smaller budgets – and Balanced Scorecard offers schools a route to achieving this without compromising on quality.

The flexibility of the Balanced Scorecard means that it can be used as a tool to ensure that every part of a school is aligned behind a common goal. It can also help to ensure that any financial investment brings genuine returns and an optimal focus on the relationship with pupils and parents.

By offering an in-depth means of monitoring success, the Balanced Scorecard can be used as an effective tool to ensure that the entire school is aligned behind a single, shared goal and that the organisation remains on a path of continual and sustainable improvement.
