I sistemi di misurazione delle performance, come la Balanced Scorecard (BSC), sono strumenti efficaci per misurare le prestazioni di un'organizzazione e collegare i suoi obiettivi alla strategia attraverso il coinvolgimento di tutto il personale. L'obiettivo di questo progetto è quello di dare risposta a una necessità dell'Ufficio Ricerca dell'Istituto Neurologico IRCCS Carlo Besta (Italia) attraverso la progettazione di una BSC per la gestione dei progetti di ricerca. La metodologia adottata ha previsto la collaborazione con un team incaricato dello sviluppo di un software per la gestione dei progetti e la partecipazione attiva a diversi incontri con gli attori coinvolti. Ciò ha permesso la raccolta delle informazioni necessarie e la comprensione dei bisogni dell'Ufficio Ricerca. Il progetto ha previsto la realizzazione di uno strumento adattato alla realtà del Besta. Il risultato del lavoro è un cruscotto composto da cinque prospettive (i.e. scientific knowledge growth, research process, financial, internal business processes and innovation, learning and growth) e tredici indicatori chiave di performance. La BSC finale, progettata per essere utilizzata insieme al software per la gestione dei progetti di ricerca, è un sistema dinamico che aiuterà l'Ufficio Ricerca a monitorare nel tempo le prestazioni e i principali processi interni.

Abstract
Performance measurement systems, such as the Balanced Scorecard (BSC), have proven to be effective tools for measuring the performance of an organization and linking the goals with the strategy, while involving the corresponding personnel. The aim of this project is to give answer to a necessity that was born in the Research Office of the Neurological Institute IRCCS Carlo Besta (Italy), through the design of a BSC for the management of research projects. The methodology followed has been that of working together with a team in charge of the development of a software for the management of the research projects and the active participation to different meetings with the personnel involved. This has allowed to extract the necessary information and the understanding of the objectives and necessities of the Research Office that have to be matched. Since an effective adoption of the BSC requires the adaptation of the generic instrument to the specific realities of organizations, in this project it has been developed a completely customize tool. At the end what has been obtained is a scorecard composed by five different perspectives (i.e. scientific knowledge growth, research process, financial, internal business processes and innovation, learning and growth) and thirteen key performance indicators (KPI). The BSC, which is thought to be used together with the software for the management of the research projects, can help the Research Office to keep the performance updated along time, being useful for monitoring important internal processes and adaptable to changes during its life.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
