Abstract

In the last two decades, many developments have been made in the field of strategic performance management in terms of performance management frameworks/models. The major developments are performance prism, Kanji’s business scorecard, holistic scorecard, system dynamics-based balanced scorecard, etc. One of the attempts made to propose an integrated performance management framework is named as flexible strategy game-card, which intends to support full cycle of strategy formulation, execution, performance measurement, and management. This chapter is an attempt to discuss about this evolving performance management framework in terms of its evolution, the theoretical roots, and application of framework by presenting an illustration. The outcome of the chapter is to share theoretical roots with the researchers and practitioners related to this recent development.
