Balanced Scorecard: Translating Strategy into Action
by Robert S. Kaplan, David P. Norton, Arthur Lowes

The major shortcoming in the Balanced Scorecard is the lakc of explanation as how to take the seemingly 'intangible' organisational objectives or success factors - which are frequently more critical than the easily measurable outcomes such as the financials -  and make them measurable ?

Without quantification and the means to measure them, 'intangible' factors remain vague, subject to ambiguity/misinterpretation and leave management powerless.

For ideas on tackling this subject, look at these articles (Quantifying Qualitative Requirements, Rich Requirements) by Tom Gilb.
