The Ansoff Growth Matrix analyzes strategies for business growth by assessing the risk associated with expanding into new products or markets. The Balanced Scorecard translates organizational strategy into objectives and measures across four perspectives: financial, customer, internal processes, and learning and growth. It provides a balanced view of organizational performance and helps ensure different areas of the organization work towards common, measurable goals that support the overall strategy. The Balanced Scorecard process involves setting a vision and objectives, analyzing stakeholders, identifying critical success factors, and establishing metrics to measure progress across the four perspectives.

The Ansoff Growth Matrix , or Product Market Expansion Grid, is a tool to help businesses analyze, plan, and execute different strategies for growth and assess the risk exposure associated with each one. The model was developed by Russian-American mathematician Igor Ansoff in 1957 and focuses on two specific areas for potential growth: Products (what they sell) Market (who they sell to) What is a Balanced Scorecard? The Balanced Scorecard (or balance score card) is a strategic performance measurement model which is developed by Robert Kaplan and David Norton. Its objective is to translate an organization’s mission and vision into actual (operational) actions (strategic planning).
In addition, it can help provide information on the chosen
strategy more, manage feedback and learning processes and determine the target figures. The (operational) actions are set up with measurable indicators that provide support for understanding and adjusting the chosen strategy. The starting points of the balanced scorecard are the vision and the strategy that are viewed from four perspectives: the financial perspective, the customer perspective, the internal business processes and learning & growth. In what way is the scorecard a balance? The scorecard produces a balance between: 1. Four key business perspectives: financial, customer, internal processes and innovation. 2. How the organisation sees itself and how others see it. 3. The short run and the long run 4. The situation at a moment in time and change over time Main benefits of using the balanced scorecard 1. Helps companies focus on what has to be done in order to create a breakthrough performance 2. Acts as an integrating device for a variety of corporate programmes 3. Makes strategy operational by translating it into performance measures and targets 4. Helps break down corporate level measures so that local managers and employees can see what they need to do well if they want to improve organisational effectiveness 5. Provides a comprehensive view that overturns the traditional idea of the organisation as a collection of isolated, independent functions and departments •Financial perspective : The financial perspective is important for all shareholders and other financial backers of an organization. It answers the question: “How attractive must we appear to our shareholders and financial backers? •Customer perspective • Each organization serves a specific need in the market. This is done with a target group in mind, namely its customers. Customers determine for example the quality, price, service and the acceptable margins on these products and/or services. Organizations always try to meet customer expectations that may change at any time This perspective answers the question: “How attractive should we appear to our customers?” Internal Business Processes From the perspective of internal processes the question should be asked what internal processes have actually added value within the organizations and what activities need to be carried out within these processes. Added value is mainly expressed as the performance geared towards the customer resulting from an optimal alignment between processes, activities and decisions. This perspective answers the question: “What must we excel at to satisfy our customers and shareholders/ financial backers?” Learning and growth An organization’s learning ability and innovation indicate whether an organization is capable of continuous improvement and/or growth in a dynamic environment. This dynamic environment is subject to change on a daily basis due to new legislation and regulations, economic changes or even increasing competition. This perspective answers the question: “How can we sustain our ability to achieve our chosen strategy?”. Broadly, this could include the following steps: 1. Set up a vision, mission and strategic objectives. 2. Perform a stakeholder analysis to gauge the expectations of customers and shareholders. 3. Make an inventory of the critical success factors 4. Translate strategic objectives into (personal) goals 5. Set up key performance indicators to measure the objectives 6. Determine the values for the objectives that are to be achieve 7. Translate the objectives into operational activities.
