Scorecard measures differ due to their integrity. In fact, Strategy happens to be foundation
for integration, means that the originating source of these two factors is support and
coordination and they illustrate the organizational strategy in a comprehensive manner.

Historical measure:
Predictive measure:
Predictive measure is related with future operations. It is used to predict the expected
outcome of future operations. Therefore, it drives future performance. And we can say it is a
lead measure.
Both of these measures are equally important for describing a company’s strategy because
expected outcome of activities performed in future are totally depend upon the results
achieved in past. Hence, past data is used to predict the future expected results. Hence we
can say company’s strategy can not be explained properly without the usage of any of them.
