The Performance Conference 2008

What is The Performance Conference?

Business executives have gathered to explore the latest innovations and best practices in performance management and process improvement initiatives at the annual Performance Conference. The Performance Conference is led by speakers from the upper echelons of performance-based companies and organizations, focused on performance management systems, measures and metrics, employee performance and project management. By putting delegates in the room with the best in class in performance management and measurement professionals, The Performance Conference seeks to drive results and improve organizational performance and profitability.

Dear Colleague:

Performance. It is on every executive’s mind: how to plan, measure and improve performance at all levels of the enterprise. All executives are looking for a strategy for improving their organization’s performance, but real success still hinges on the effective execution of strategy. When strategy is not executed, organizations fall short of meeting the performance expectations of stakeholders and customers.

To enhance your own efforts to define and implement performance improvement strategies in your organization, you are invited to join leaders in organizational performance at The American Strategic Management Institute’s Performance Conference 2008, October 20-22, 2008 in Las Vegas, NV.

At this national event, you will learn how to define and execute strategies within your organization that align with corporate goals and drive across all key business functions, including finance, workforce and operational performance. Unlike any other event, The Performance Conference will focus on the challenge of aligning strategy with measures to achieve your enterprise objectives through comprehensive performance management.

Everyone is looking for a way to improve their sustainable market advantage, but differentiating your product or service solely on the traditional physical elements of price, delivery or even quality is no longer a sustainable business strategy. A new differentiator has emerged: the purposeful management of service excellence. Ensure that employees know what is expected of them by communicating how their business unit goals and objectives relate to overall organizational strategy. Achieve higher levels of performance by proper measurement and support, and establish “line of sight” performance reporting to instill accountability and transparency for progress. By creating, designing and executing memorable service excellence, you will build positive customer and employee relationships resulting in solid revenue growth and market advantage.

The nation’s leaders in performance management will be on hand for The Performance Conference 2008. Join them and you will emerge with powerful lessons and tools for driving real and immediate performance improvements in your organization.

I look forward to seeing you in Las Vegas!

Best Regards,
