Question

Options

• ABalanced Scorecard
• BProcess Analysis Tool
• CDashboard
• DFunctional Measurement

• A
  91% (42)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  4% (2)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

A Balanced Scorecard (A) directly links an organization's strategic objectives to specific, measurable performance indicators across four perspectives (financial, customer, internal processes, and learning/growth), making it the definition match for "joining strategies to specific measures."

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B. Process Analysis Tool - focuses on examining and improving individual workflows, not connecting enterprise strategy to metrics
• C. Dashboard - is a visual display of data/KPIs, but it's a reporting interface, not a strategy-measurement alignment methodology
• D. Functional Measurement - measures performance within a specific function or department, without the cross-organizational strategic linkage that defines a Balanced Scorecard

Memory tip: Think of the word "balanced" - it signals that this tool balances high-level strategy against concrete metrics across multiple dimensions, unlike the other options which are either too narrow (functional, process) or too presentational (dashboard).
