Because traditional financial accounting measures like ROI give misleading signals about continuous improvement and innovation, more integrated approaches to performance measurement are needed. An obvious candidate here is Kaplan & Norton's Balanced Scorecard (BSC), which assess performance from the perspectives of (i) staff development/learning (ii) internal processes (iii) customer service and satisfaction and (iv) financial effectiveness, efficiency and cash flow.

Excellent, but that is only one part of the job. Now, the prestige we are seeking manifests itself in measurement. Too often social software enthusiasts and evangelists overlook this fundamental aspect (knowingly or otherwise). Where the mindset is fixated on measurement = financial, responsibility will commonly be considered to fall at the feet of management accountants. This is exacerbated because (well before it got momentum behind the firewall) there was a perception that social software is a web thing developed by web people, which puts it outside the remit of ‘accountants’.

  • Measurement is the translation of an operational function into an economic reality that facilitates monitoring of activities and benchmarking of performance between organisations (and their offerings). That enables businesses to attract and/or inform shareholders who ultimately capitalise the visions and goals outlined in a strategic plan.
  • Some people may be reluctant to that as they consider reporting a ’sacred cow’. In fact, the measurement of activity divides into contractual and non-contractual measures. Contractual elements are compulsory and objectives as defined a priori, negotiated and accepted: they are normed. This type of measures is used for both internal and external purposes. Non-contractual elements are desirable and subjective (as consensus is specific to the organisation). This type of measure is used for internal purpose, principally for driving the activity.
