  Manage Performance with Agility
  
  Information is doubling faster than ever; change is complex, even volatile, and the rules that secured the past have changed. Organisations that can navigate threats and optimise opportunities, understand the implications, and maneuver strategy and execution faster and better than competitors are the winners.
  
  With few chief executives happy with their organisations' agility, how should organisations leverage not just hindsight or insight, but more importantly, foresight to forecast accurately; reduce risk; grow customer value; innovate and deliver on performance holistically throughout the organisation? Ultimately, how can organisations profit and sustain success long term without sacrificing short-term gains?

  Performance Management: Are You Watching Your Dials or Moving Them?
  
  Performance management has become a strategic imperative for organisations globally. Performance management is a value multiplier to the substantial investments organisations have made in software systems and technology; yet these often are viewed as falling short of their expected returns on investment.
  
  This misconception arises when dashboards are viewed as the end result of a performance management initiative. Dashboards are merely summaries.
  
  This presentation will highlight the importance of the right technologies, people and organizational culture in not only watching the dials but, more importantly, moving them in a direction to execute your strategy.

  Performance Management: Extending Beyond Finance to Deliver on Strategy
  
  Business intelligence has expanded beyond just reporting on past events to incorporate analytics, which helps managers at all levels understand what drives business performance. Corporate performance management, or CPM, is an example of this.
  
  According to Gartner’s research, CPM is one of the fastest-growing software markets and the highest priority for organisations investing in analytic applications. The challenge is that in many cases, CPM is implemented with a financial management focus, rather than a broader view of managing performance. This presentation will examine the opportunities and obstacles of CPM and provide examples of how other organisations have linked their strategies to operational execution as part of a performance management solution.
