Customers motivation for the Balanced Scorecard
The Balanced Scorecard can make your CRM even more powerful, but only if people will actually use the system to measure and improve their performance. We’ve discovered, that the biggest problem with Balanced Scorecard is the motivation aspect, people don’t want to use the Balanced Scorecard as they are probably already using another system.
Here are two ready to apply motivation ideas that can help:
Agree on a Schedule
One of the most common problems companies face when implementing the Balanced Scorecard, is that people don’t invest enough time in using it. Perhaps the top managers are not invested in the new system. Perhaps your line-level employees don’t send in the required data to update your indicator values. Or perhaps some members of your team simply don’t invest as much time in the Balanced Scorecard as you might like them to.
The solution is simple. Just agree on a certain schedule for each stakeholder in the Balanced Scorecard. Each person who will use the new system should sign on to this commitment.
Motivating New Employees
When we talk about motivation, we are usually thinking about current employees. But what about new employees, who have just started working with the company?
Actually, it is much easier to motivate new employees, since you will be training them before they start work. At this stage, it is important to show them the benefits and the business culture associated with the Balanced Scorecard.
Just remember, you need to implement the Balanced Scorecard not only into your business processes, but into your training process for new employees.
