How does Policy Governance fit with Balanced Scorecard or other modern tools?
The Balanced Scorecard, along with other impressive and useful tools for modern management are just that, for management. A great impediment to the development of governance is that it is traditionally treated as an instance of management rather than as a related but separate endeavor. No wonder boards have difficulty distinguishing governance from management, for people keep imposing management methods and concepts onto governance. If a board governs well which includes delegating well managers can be free to use a number of excellent tools to fulfill the board’s expectations. But that doesn’t make those tools appropriate for governance, just as a wrench is appropriate for a mechanic, but not for an engineer.
