The balanced scorecard is considered one of the most important and latest tools for strategy evaluation, as it leads the organization to analyze its performance based on its vision and strategic goals, and succeeds in guiding it toward a new direction that supports the overall performance of the organization. It also translates the organization's vision and strategy into a set of practical actions that represent a framework for implementing the strategy. The balanced scorecard is an evaluation tool as well as a strategic leadership tool because it relies on five dimensions to evaluate the organization's overall performance instead of focusing solely on the financial dimension, which has become unable to provide a comprehensive picture of performance. Paying attention to a broader set of metrics related to quality, market size, customer satisfaction, employees, and the environment can lead to greater insight into the factors that drive financial performance and help achieve objectives. The role of the balanced scorecard is not limited to performance evaluation but has evolved to transform strategic goals into coherent financial and non-financial measures. The balanced scorecard translates the organization's strategy into five perspectives, each with a number of indicators that form the basis for strategic performance management. The overall goal: enabling trainees to understand the basics of strategic planning, measure key performance indicators (KPIs), and be able to design a balanced scorecard, then review the balanced scorecard, evaluate performance, and learn about organizations that have implemented the balanced scorecard.
