Themes 
Use the Themes subtab to review descriptive statements representing major components of a strategy, as articulated at the highest level in the vision. Themes are most often drawn from an organization’s internal processes or the customer value proposition, but may also be drawn from key financial goals. The key is that themes represent vertically linked groupings of objectives across several scorecard perspectives (at a minimum, Customer and Internal perspectives).
For example, you might have a theme for gaining a better understanding of all internal businesses. The theme would explore objectives from the Employee, Financial, and Internal Business perspectives, but would not include Customers and Competition because they are external perspectives.
Your strategy administrator has set up the Themes subcomponent for this context.
You can do the following with themes:
Focus on a theme to review its associated perspectives and objectives.
The objectives associated with the selected theme are highlighted in the lower portion of the window. All other objectives appear in the standard color. The description, responsible user, and associated links are updated to reflect the ones specified for this theme.
Review details about a theme's objective including its status, comments, associated initiatives, and associated KPIs.
To display themes, click the Themes sub-tab in the Strategy component.
