Balanced Scorecards (BSC) have been established as a valuable instrument addressing major management issues in industry and also in public administrations. For the latter, often law-driven changes in public administration accounting systems require establishing a sophisticated management (information) and controlling system. However, in many cases, the adaptation of industry-oriented BSC approaches to public administrations has not been developed to a sufficient extent. The aim of Basis is to develop a BSC approach which specifically addresses the issues of politics and democracy in public administrations.

The BASIS system is a strategic management information systems which draws on the public administration-specific BSC approach as presented above. It seeks to combine BSC functionalities with project management. Within a six months project, BASIS has been developed and implemented in cooperation with the city of Emsdetten.
