  • Customer
  • Internal
  • People

Financial measures are important because they tell you useful things like whether you are making a profit, but they only do this after the fact. If you want to get some warning about some impending financial problems before they happen, you can get this by measuring customer factors, such as satisfaction. You can also go further upstream to get warning about customer problems by looking at internal factors, such as process operation and delivery. And you can go even further upstream by looking at people factors, such as education and employee satisfaction.
