CFO Conferences' most popular topic ever
During the last four years, CFO magazine has welcomed hundreds of large-corporate finance executives to seven national CPM conferences — intensive sharing and learning sessions that have drawn high praise from participants. The interest among executives at large and mid-sized companies remains remarkably strong. So we are pleased to announce the eighth in this conference series: Corporate Performance Management: How Finance Can Implement a Winning Strategy, June 3-5, 2007, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in New York City.
Be smart, act smart. That's what strong strategy execution is all about. And more CFOs today are contributing to "the cause" by ramping up finance's ability to gather business intelligence and provide penetrating analyses of both financial and operating performance trends.
At this CFO magazine conference, we'll examine how finance is implementing successful Corporate Performance Management (CPM) frameworks and systems. We'll showcase senior finance executives and their in-depth case studies at both Stage One (planning, budgeting, forecasting, consolidation, reporting, etc.) and Stage Two of CPM (operating performance and business analytics).
You will be treated to two days of in-depth conversation, leading-edge concepts and, best of all, practical insights and war stories delivered personally by some of the most respected CFOs in the U.S.
Among the conference highlights:
- Keynote Address: Competing on Analytics: How Fact-Based Decisions and Business Intelligence Drive Performance - Tom Davenport, Professor of Management and Information Management, Babson College
Each attendee will receive a copy of Tom Davenport's book, Competing on Analytics, courtesy of conference sponsor SAS.
- Three extended sessions for intensive learning:
- An optional pre-conference workshop, Getting Front-Line Managers Fully Engaged in CPM, presented by Lawrence Serven of The Buttonwood Group
- A learning lab on Change Management, facilitated by Theresa Moulton of Performance Change Initiatives
- A special session based on research from Robert Kaplan and David Norton's Balanced Scorecard Collaborative: Strategy Execution and the CFO in 2010, presented by Cary Greene of Palladium Group
