Let ter from the Conference Chair Dear Colleague: The economic climate of the past few years has taken business on a very bumpy ride. Organizations that prevailed through the economic downturn are now faced with the challenge of growing with fewer resources, smaller budgets and wary consumers. To face these challenges, organizations have heightened their focus on performance management to optimize financial and operational performance. Most organizations have developed ways to best cope with the current economic conditions through strategic budgeting, workforce initiatives and innovation efforts. However, organizations must do more to stay competitive. They must leverage new performance management systems and develop effective business intelligence programs to improve the bottom line. To help you respond to the evolving economy and to advance your organization’s performance, you are invited to join us at The Performance Conference, May 3–5, 2011 in Chicago. At this national event, our goal is to help you increase your responsiveness to the business challenges and trends of today. You will learn how to execute strategies that align with corporate goals and drive performance across all key business functions, including finance, HR, operations and more. Experts in the field will discuss various performance management strategies and best practices in business analytics. They will provide solutions that offer valuable information and data such as predictive indicators to increase sales, reduce costs, improve profitability and identify new leads for more business opportunities. Leaders in performance management will be on hand for The Performance Conference 2011. Join them and you will emerge with powerful lessons and tools for driving real and immediate performance improvements in your organization through measures, metrics and business analytics. I look forward to seeing you in Chicago! Best Regards,

Keynote Address
Optimize Risk to Successfully Execute Strategy and Maximize Growth Enterprise risk management (ERM) should be viewed not as a separate process or activity but as a competency that is embedded within the organization. The mitigation of risk to optimize business performance is an inherent part of any business looking to grow and execute its strategic plans. A well-integrated ERM function will help organizations to increase efficiency and make smarter business decisions. In this keynote address, you will learn the importance of identifying and optimizing risk to facilitate growth and strategy execution.

9:10 General Session
Redefine Strategy, Revitalize Organizational Performance — How Will Your Organization Distinguish Itself in a Hypercompetitive Business Environment? The hypercompetitive landscape has changed the way companies do business. Faster, more agile companies succeed by implementing and executing hypercompetitive strategies— those strategies that provide the basis for sustainable differentiation. In light of this dynamic, achieving a “sustainable” competitive advantage is becoming less realistic. To meet today’s challenges, companies are implementing competitive strategies that will help them sustain a distinguishable identity amongst their competitors. This keynote address will discuss the current marketplace that many organizations are facing and how to effectively formulate a competitive business strategy.

TRACK OVERVIEWS Track A: Define, Redefine, and Execute Strategy Formulating strategy is about finding alternative methods to allocate resources in the most effective and efficient way in order to accomplish business goals. On the other hand, the execution of strategy is about leveraging the organization’s core competences and transforming them into strategic capabilities in order to achieve intended outcomes. The ability to handle both of these tasks is essential to the company’s long-term viability. Learn the best approaches in formulating, implementing, and executing strategy to move your company in the right direction. Track B: Establish the Strategy-Finance Connection for Optimal Bottom Line Results According to research by the Balanced Scorecard Collaborative, 60% of organizations do not prioritize a link between corporate strategy and budgets. Budgets are an intricate part of the closed-process we call ‘performance management’. In this context, the budget drives the efficient allocation of resources in order to facilitate the execution of strategy. Identify new methods to ensure that your organization is effectively utilizing its budget process as a foundation for accomplishing tactical objectives. Track C: Risk Management for a New Set of Business Threats Changing business dynamics will always present a new set of threats that could potentially derail strategic initiatives. Prudent organizations take care to minimize risk at every opportunity by creating a clear comprehensive risk management process. A good risk management system is a continuous process for analysis, communication, and strategic planning. Improve your organization’s agility with a well-conceived risk management framework. Track D: Measure, Monitor, and Manage Performance for Positive Business Results What are the “right” measures that will help drive your organization to a high level of performance? The tendency for companies to measure everything undermines the ability to effectively manage performance. Yet, measures are meaningless without SMART objectives. Learn how to identify the measures and objectives that will anchor and drive your performance management framework. Track E: Customer Management Practices for a Sustainable Competitive Advantage Customer satisfaction is the ultimate goal of any business activity. The customer’s direct impact on the financial bottom line should be at the forefront of every company’s decision-making process. Consumers are very well-informed and have high expectations. Therefore, the ability to connect with and understand how to deliver value to the customer is a critical success factor. Implement value-added approaches to developing customer relationships. Track F: Profit Through Process – Utilize Six Sigma Tools for Operational Excellence Continuous improvement and the elimination of waste in processes are the foundation of Six Sigma methodologies. Process excellence leads to the minimization of costs and, in effect, helps maximize profits and the value derived from business activities. Ultimately, a decrease in your process variation will result in greater customer satisfaction— the most critical business driver. Integrate Six Sigma practices into your organization to help eliminate the impediments to maximizing profits.

Next Generation Strategy: Adopt and utilize the Balanced Scorecard to Move Your Organization Forward after Implementing and Executing a Successful BSC Strategy – PSE&G In 2007 PSE&G was inducted into the Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame for Executing Strategy. Two years later, PSE&G revamped and expanded its strategy as a result of the changing business environment. This next generation strategy will position the company for growth during very challenging times. As a result of this change in strategy, their metrics, the BSC, and their strategic initiatives were all redesigned and aligned.

In this keynote you will discuss how to articulate, communicate and successfully execute your business strategies.

9:10 General Session
Formulate Quick, Dynamic, and Agile Strategies in Response to Industry Disruptions Identifying the key drivers of change in your market and industry is essential to ensuring sound strategic planning. However, contingency planning and risk management will not prepare you for all of the potential threats that could knock your organization off course. So what is your protocol for handling unexpected disruptions that you could not have planned for? Using the Porter model, this session will address how to properly respond to such situations. You will review a case study that will help you determine what you can do differently when faced with industry disruption. During this session you will:
Understand how your industry could experience, dramatic, disruptive change Determine the potential impacts of disruptive change Identify your vulnerabilities and risk from disruptive change Discover strategies to optimize your ability to withstand industry disruption

Identify best practices, tools and techniques to effectively utilize and implement a performance management system within your organization. Track H: Enhance and Improve Organizational Intelligence An intelligent organization is a strategic and agile system that enables high levels of performance for individuals and the organization as a whole. More importantly, it possesses data-driven insights into its internal and external environments as means to stay connected to the rapidly changing business environment. These organizations have integrated a system for business and competitive intelligence that has provided them with the foresight for accurate long-term decision making. Leverage your business and competitive intelligence to drive long-term business performance. Track I: Methods and Metrics for a High Performing Workforce When there is a clear line of sight between activities and enterprise-wide goals and strategies, employee improvement thrives. As leaders, it is your job to create an environment where employees can find their strengths and maximize their contribution to the business. By developing an effective talent management system and productive succession plan, your organization’s productivity and performance potential can grow exponentially. Identify strategies executives and managers can use to find the right workforce measures and metrics. Track J: Build Project Management Capability and Maturity Having a mature project management function within your organization will enhance the ability to consistently deliver successful projects and programs within your organization. For many organizations, the success or failure of projects will have a high impact on the success of the entire business. Furthermore, project management plays a critical strategic role in a company’s ability to be flexible and adapt to change. Improve your project management capabilities to exceed customer expectations and drive business performance. Track K: Leadership for Innovation and Change Leadership is an overlooked but extremely important driver of growth, innovation, and change. The best leaders are able to create an environment where employees are empowered to initiate change. Leaders also must understand that organizations will only experience long-term success if the culture fosters ownership and accountability on all levels. Take your organization to new levels of excellence by effectively leading change and cultivating innovation. Track L: Stimulate Growth in a Growth-Inhibitive Environment In 2011 companies have had the opportunity to really study and understand the dynamics of the economy and its impacts on the business environment. Leading organizations have found a way to calculate, commit, and grow. This means they have developed an explicit understanding of their financial capacity, are leveraging their core competences, and have ultimately reached a level of internal solidarity based on a commitment to growth through sound business operations.
