balanced scorecard
The balanced scorecard is a management reporting tool that allows its users to better balance the follow-up between financial and non-financial performance, in correlation with the vision and the corporate strategy (which is why the word "balanced" is a part of its name). For example, when a manager comes back from vacation, he or she should initially seek the main balanced scorecard metrics. Such a tailor-made report is comprised of a series of the most important indicators (Key Performance Indicators or KPI's) for the [1.27] in "four" fields: finance, learning & growth, clients and business processes. Beyond the indicators, the balanced scorecard represents a systematic tool that should be continuously adjusted by its users (also called the "dashboard" or "deck").

brained person
People who tend to be more creative, intuitive and emotional, in comparison to those who seem to be more analytical, logical and rational (the left-brained people). Every person constantly uses both brain hemispheres. However, if you rely more on your right hemisphere, there are a myriad of effects. For example, at a school, it is likely that a right-brained person prefers courses, such as humanities (expressing words), rather than sciences (calculating values).
business plan
A business plan is a holistic document integrating planning, execution, and control of several complementing professional disciplines: finance, operations, human resources, information technology, legal, and marketing. Each discipline represents a plan by itself: financial plan, operations plan or other, and serves as a subsection of the business plan. The integrated sections indicate the viability of a new venture or a revised business model to succeed (also known as "B-Plan").
