You have an Idea for your website, implement it and start measuring (webanalitics)the effects on your business. You see the effect is smaller you’d hoped for and start optimalizing.

Quite a normal scenario I believe, nowadays.

But that scenario has a flaw, it’s slow. It’s like the 70’s businesses managing based on financial data. In a fast moving market you’ll be to late to take profit from your own idea!

You must start thinking about processes and indicators for the “great idea” project that will increase your chance of success. Not just kpi’s (outcomes) but also drivers. Managing these processes will lead to greater quality and therefore a greater chance of success.

That is one reason for using the balanced scorecard.
You should start using the webscorecard tecnique now! (It sounds like a sales pitch, but it really is true :-) )
