Format:Paperback
This is the sort of book that should be read by somneone wishing to understand the language and concept behind the balanced scorecard. Ideally targetted at individuals who might be in the position of being part of the change environment but not necessarily leading change. This book lacks the weight and depth of other offerings and should not be used as sole material if you are thinking of introducing the BSC into your organisation. As a resource to aid communication as to what it is all about, it will prove invaluable. A useful little book.

Format:Paperback
Although I agree that things should be kept simple, especially management stuff, this book however simplifies too much. You can easily finish the book in one hour. In the end, I missed real life examples. This book discusses more the approach/process to create a BBSC, lesser the BBSC in itself. It is the same approach as for workshops, meetings or brainstorm projects.

This book is an excellent starting point as an introduction to this management framework which doesn't assume any prior knowledge of either the balanced scorecard approach or a developed understanding of business or organisational management. Naturally, in business management the model needs to be adapted to your own business needs but this is easily done. Balanced Scorecard in a Week is a great introduction and will encourage you to read further and develop your own approach more widely. Highly recommended if you are in a small starter business or even developing a charity of social enterprise.
