The scoreboard is strategy focused, and the dashboard is operation oriented.
The balanced scorecard model offers a visual way for a corporation to gain a wider perspective on its strategic decisions by considering the impact on finances, customers, internal processes and employee satisfaction.

Scoreboard vs. Dashboard: A scoreboard is to provide the “balanced” view of trade-off variables; whereas a dashboard tries to present key performance indicators in a visualized way. A scorecard assesses the business to strategic goals whereas a dashboard assesses performance to operational goals. A scoreboard is a way of consolidating and comparing metrics relating to a holistic assessment of organizational or functional performance; whereas dashboards can be targeted at a single or small, but a related number of operational performance drivers. A balanced scoreboard is very useful for facilitating discussions and ensuring decision makers understand the various trade-offs. You also need to consider, among other things, the overall strategic balance, dependencies, and constraints between components and overall risk exposure. Dashboards and their associated means of information gathering and presentation are user selected, defined, structured, analyzed, in other words. Keep in mind, The scoreboard and dashboard are both just the management tools, the balanced scorecard is not a silver bullet, and a dashboard is also not a crystal ball, they are the visual tools which help to make effective decisions and run successful businesses.

In such situations, I myself am in favor of going to the experts because you can't do really well, which you surely like. It's better to go to a specialist and I have no questions about it. So I hope I'm going to help, when I tell you I transformed pitch deck services into it, I've just helped the same thing, and my presentation looks better now. They also design complex presentations and create them with elegance and take the customer's desires and his vision into account. They have a lot of appreciation for this.
