KEYNOTE ADDRESS: Develop a Strategic Approach to BI and Performance Management The BI architecture identifies the data that management needs to run the business, solve business problems and achieve strategic goals. A well-conceived BI function greatly increases the chances for business success for it allows for more agile decision making processes; subsequently allowing the company to capitalize on market opportunities and overcome challenges. In order to deliver effective, value-added business intelligence, the organization must integrate actual business performance data with planned performance data to produce actionable BI that can be delivered to business users through business planning dashboards. In this keynote you will discuss the key steps in making BI a strategic component of performance management.

In-House Training & Customization

One of the more popular vehicles for accessing the American Strategic Management Institute’s educational offerings is the delivery of on-site trainings and management facilitations. Bringing a training or facilitation in-house gives you the opportunity to customize a program that addresses your exact challenges and provides a more personal learning experience, while virtually eliminating travel expenses. Whether you require training for your department or for an organization-wide initiative, the advanced learning methods employed by ASMI will create an intimate training atmosphere that maximizes knowledge transfer to enhance the talent within your organization.

CUSTOMIZATION We realize that not all obstacles can be overcome by applying an “off-the-shelf” solution. While many training providers will offer you some variation of their standard training, ASMI’s subject matter experts will work with you and your team to examine your programs and determine your exact areas of need. The identification of real life examples will create a learning atmosphere that resonates with participants while at the same time providing immediate return on your training investment. Using interactive exercises that employ actual projects or scenarios from your organization, instructors can address specific challenges and align the curriculum of each session to your objectives. While the majority of on-site trainings are focused on smaller groups, ASMI also has the ability to accommodate organization-wide training initiatives.

Utilizing multiple instructors, the Institute has the capacity to deliver courses to groups of up to 300 participants per day.
