1.3. Strategic Scorecard
In the development of the strategic scorecard, the next step is to establish the end result, what the
municipality wants to achieve with the objective. It is important to always have the end in mind when
setting measurements and targets for objectives. After the results were established, measures and targets
were set and projects identified.
• Results are the ultimate impact that we would like to see with regards to the objective
• Key Performance indicators are measurable results of the objectives, projects and programmes.
• Strategies are unique and sustainable ways though which the municipality creates value
• Projects are the specific initiatives undertaken by the municipality to support the objective.
The purpose of the Strategic Scorecard is for Council and the Municipal Manager to focus on the real
strategic measurements and projects that must be attained and implemented during the course of the next
financial year. Strategic Key Performance Indicators are the measurements identified that will enable
Council to ascertain whether the Municipality is moving towards the attainment of the strategic objectives
as contained in the strategy map. Strategic projects are identified as those critical projects that the
Municipality must implement to address the constraints as indicated in the table reflecting constraints and
priority focus areas. Strategic projects are also projects that were identified as a “quick win” option to pave
the way for implementation of other initiatives or projects.
The strategic scorecard is indicated on the following page. Strategies as developed will be cascaded to
operational plans and projects to facilitate implementation of strategic direction of the municipality.
