Hi everyone,

I am reading "The Balanced Scorecard" in HBR.
during the reading, in the sentance which is " One manager described
the proliferation of new measures at his company as its "kill another
tree program". The balanced scorecard forces managers to focus on the
handful of measures that are most critical. " I didn't understand
what  "Kill another tree program" means.
anyone who knows the meanning, please let me know that.

Thanks in advance.
