Topic Background:

Metrics and reporting need to move beyond the standard set of financial measurements and need to include a broader process view of an operation. The reporting process should identify areas for process improvement and automation. For example: the balanced scorecard retains traditional financial measures. But financial measures tell the story of past events, an adequate story for industrial age companies for which investments in long-term capabilities and customer relationships were not critical for success. These financial measures are inadequate however, for guiding and evaluating the journey that information age companies must make to create future value through investment in customers, suppliers, employees, processes, technology, and innovation.
