How does the task of building a balanced scorecard for an NGO differ from that for a profit-seeking enterprise?

Choose an NGO that interests you and design a simple balanced scoreboard for them with a minimum of two measures in each of scorecard’s perspectives

Solution

Balanced Scorecard is used to define and develop the organizational strategies for effective management.

Generally, the need for a balanced scorecard is more for Non-Government Organization than for the Profit-oriented organizations as profits are not the measure for their success. They measure their success in terms of societal services rendered and answering the question of usage of them to the society or not. So, this is the major thing that differs in building a balanced scorecard for an NGO from that of a profit seeking enterpise.
