Wells Fargo Online Financial Services (B)
By: Robert S. Kaplan and Nicole Tempest
Abstract
Describes how the Balanced Scorecard built by the Online Financial Services (OFS) group is used to select the highest-priority initiatives for the organization. Currently, initiatives arise continually throughout the organization, and management spends considerable time reviewing, approving, and, often , canceling initiatives. OFS develops a ranking procedure, based on the Balanced Scorecard, to align initiatives with the group's strategy. Currently 11 proposals have made it through the first two screening processes. Students evaluate these proposals according to the strategic themes described in the Balanced Scorecard plus supplementary criteria developed by senior managers.
