"The scorecard provides a language and framework to communicate mission and strategy" (Ball, 2003) to the entire health care organization. It sets the tone and provides a concrete reference for all employees to follow in order for the organization to deliver consistent and efficient services throughout the whole organization.
Since the beginning of time, companies are striving and working very hard, under a lot of stress, in order to survive and overcome the challenges they face day in and day out. For Managers, it can become even more challenging to execute tasks or make the most effective decisions for their teams as the competition increases. It requires the development of excellent business strategies and effective operations to deliver exceptional products and services. An original framework created by Drs. Robert Kaplan (Harvard Business School) and David Norton has helped managers and executives achieve a more 'balanced' view of organizational performance with the Balanced Scorecard. “The balanced scorecard is a strategic planning and management system that is used extensively in business and industry, government, and nonprofit organizations worldwide to align business activities to the vision and strategy of the organization, improve internal and external communications, and monitor organization performance against strategic goals.”
At its most fundamental core, quality improvement of healthcare services and resources requires disciplined attention to the measurement, monitoring, and reporting of system performance (Drake, Harris, Watson, & Pohlner, 2011; Jones, 2010; Kennedy, Caselli, & Berry, 2011). Research points to performance measurement as a significant factor in enabling strategic planning processes and achievement of performance goals (Tapinos, Dyson & Meadows, 2005). Thus, without a system of measurement that accounts for the performance behaviors of healthcare professionals, managers and administrative employees, quality improvement remains a visionary abstraction (de Waal, 2004).
Balanced scorecards are a tool a nurse leader can use in strategic planning to assess how the organization is meeting its strategic goals and objectives. It allows for a well-rounded analysis of four different metrics: fiscal measures, customers, processes and learning and growth (Marquis & Huston, 2015). The intention of a balanced scorecard is to help “organizations set strategic goals, allocate resources, set priorities for process tasks (operations), and evaluate progress and strategy effectiveness” (Sare & Ogilvie, 2010, p. 158). Appendix A outlines the balanced scorecard for this planned change.
It enables managers to close the loop in the plan-do-check-act management cycle (PMI, 2005). Earned Value Management has become the most commonly used method of project performance measurement (Chen and Zhang 2012). Practitioners also refer to Earned Value Management concept as Earned Value Project Management, Earned Value System or Earned Value Analysis, but there is no much difference between these terminologies. Earned Value Management offers the project manager a tool to timely evaluate the general health of a project along the life of the project. Particularly Earned Value Management has been used to estimate cost and time to complete, identify cost and schedule impacts of known problems, accurately portray the cost status of a project, trace problems to their sources, portray the schedule status of a project, provide timely information on projects and identify problem areas not previously recognized (Kim and Duffey 2003). The description and derivation of Earned Value Management elements have been comprehensively described in many sources. (PMI, 2005) classifies the terminology into two categories: key parameters of Earned Value Management including Planned Value, Earned Value and Actual Cost and Earned Value Management measures (variances, indices and forecasts). Additionally the evolution of Earned Value Management concepts raised

Information systems (IS) projects are vulnerable to resource cutbacks and the increasing complexity of systems and advances in information technology make finding the right personnel difficult and the associated development costs high. Good project management is essential for success. Some alignment methodologies include IBM's business systems planning (BSP), Robert Holland's strategic systems planning, James Martin's (1989) information engineering and method/1 from Anderson Consulting.

Most of the human beings are goal driven towards their success and there are many ways to achieve one’s goals. A person can either be self-driven towards a goal or be pushed by a system towards it. Many companies change their system by doing job redesigns and there are a lot of factors to include in the job redesigning process. A company’s system is based on the company’s organizational goals and the organizational behaviour. HIS (Health Information Services) is aware that work at department level is the final results which a department achieves at the end of every month and the work at employee level is to finish the tasks that are assigned by the head of the departments every month. There are four stages to achieve organizational goals. They
The concept of portfolio management is a lucrative sword as not only it offers not only returns but the investor also have to face risk associated with it. If the Investor is willing to earn higher return he has to associate higher return with higher risk. For an investor to diversify away the risk he can follow diversification rule. Under diversification, investor can include the assets which are not correlated to each other and thus by including these asset classes he can diversify away the risk. However, in terms of the risk there are two kinds of risk i.e Unsystematic Risk and Systematic Risk and an investor can diversify only unsystematic risk by following diversification rule including the asset classes that are not correlated with other and the risk left will be systematic risk, which is not possible to diversify even if the investor includes all the securities available in the investment universe.
When planning a new project, how the project will be managed is one of the most important factors. The importance of a managers will determine the success of the project.
