Beyond Strategic Control: Applying the BSC to a Religious Organization

Kaplan and Norton have provided a framework to link control to an organization’s vision-the balanced scorecard. This approach provides measures in four areas: (1) Customer, (2) Internal Business, (3) Innovation and Learning and (4) Financial. This article provides a starting point in adapting this method to a church by looking at four measurement perspectives: (1) Members/Attenders, (2) Internal Ministry Processes, (3) Ministering, and (4) Innovation and Learning. An example is then developed using a church’s mission and vision.

BSC for Church

Is it possible to use BSC to evaluate life in a congregation and stay at the same time strong in the Lutheran understanding of Church?

To figure it out I would need to look at various Theologies about the nature of the Church. Attempt to compare and contrast them and spell out a usable Ecclesiology for the beginning of 21st Century. I will then address contemporary leadership theories and evaluate whether the one I chose to look at are helpful in building up a church based on the Ecclesiology I spelled out in the first part.
