Library Scorecard Components

      • The Scorecard - represents a catalogue of the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) used by Libraries in order to manage and measure their strategic performance. The KPIs are grouped in the four traditional perspectives of the Balanced Scorecard, each containing objectives and KPIs that describe and assess the performance of the organization from these perspectives:

- Customer: how do our customers see us?

- Financial: how do we satisfy the financial expections of the shareholders?

- Internal Processes: at what processes do we have to excel?

- People, Learning & Growth: can we continue to improve and create value?

      • Helicopter view data - contains the performance indicators that offer a broad perspective on the library's activity and status, such as the number of computer terminals.

      • Data repository - tab used to collect performance data for KPIs and list the targets and tollerance limits established for them.

      • KPI catalogue - the repository of descriptive data characterizing each KPI monitored in the Scorecard. Each KPI is documented based on the best practice KPI documentation template proprietory to smartKPIs.com and available in the smartKPIs Premium section of the website. There are over 30 fields of metadata specific to each KPI, from KPI name to definition, subordinate measures, calculation formula, etc.
