Integrating Success Scorecards Across Corporate Organizational Levels

No organization is sustainable without change, and changes are increasigly introduced through projects. With today's accelerated project-based business environments, corporate success is clearly dependent on the effectiveness of such time-bounded initiatives called projects or programs. As temporary organizations, projects are impacting success both in the short and the long run. This study is thus dedicated to an integrative view of the two distinct levels, corporate and project, from an overall success scorecard standpoint. In particular, we explore the contribution of measuring the human capital and preparing for the future dimensions to overall business success over time. This paper makes the case that an integrated project-based business lifecycle may become a fruitful domain for further investigation, and would go beyond the traditional focus on products and processes only, on one hand and on entire business success, on the other hand.
