  • Publication number: 20140129298
    Abstract: Method and system for generating summary scores from heterogeneous measures retrieved from multi-dimensional data structures for monitoring organizational performance. Scorecards are created for each group of tree-structured measures branching from Parent nodes to child nodes based on Key Performance Indicators (KPI). Scores for each parent node may be obtained by rolling up scores for child nodes reporting to the parent node. KPI's at the lowest level are mapped on first scale, then mapped to a normalized scale, and score values determined. KPI scores are weight-averaged for roll-up to a parent node determining the score for that node. Multiple parent nodes may be rolled-up to a higher level node in a similar way. Multiple dimensions of the measure such as geographic and temporal may be scored simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 7440978
    Abstract: A client may revise a balanced scorecard by adding, deleting and/or moving objects on a strategy map. Multiple clients may attempt to revise the strategy map simultaneously. Non-conflicting revisions are synchronized with the strategy map in a scorecard database. A conflicting revision may be generated when objects associated with one client's revisions cannot be reconciled with the objects associated with another client's revisions. Conflicting revisions may be resolved by giving one client's revisions priority over subsequent client revisions. Any identified zombie objects are removed from the strategy map before synchronization with the scorecard database. The revised strategy map is saved in the scorecard database. The revised objects are synchronized with the corresponding scorecard and any associated strategy maps in the scorecard database.
