BSC Customer

One of the aspects of the balanced scorecard framework is the customer service perspective. This perspective is based on the idea that there is "an increasing realization of the importance of customer focus and customer satisfaction in any business" (BSI, 2013).

This can be measured with surveys, and these surveys can use a Likert scale to put a number value of their level of satisfaction. As such, the survey can represent an opportunity to quantify the success level of the company.

A third objective can be to measure the number of customer complaints. This again relates to customer satisfaction, but is a fairly direct measure. The only read downside of this measure is that not everybody complains. Thus, we might not be getting the full story with this measure.
