Event Details:

If you lead a business or team that has been tasked to improve the performance of your business unit, you have probably elected to use an approach that is driven by numbers. If you are a departmental leader or manager that is developing a business solution that requires collaboration with suppliers, customers, and other internal business units, you have probably been researching standards and practices that you can use. If you are a technology vendor or a consultant trying to build a business case for an IT solution or application, you have probably realized the imperative to successfully identify business drivers and processes that span sales, marketing, engineering, finance, IT, logistics, production, and customer service.

Large and small businesses recognize that achieving consistent, superior results requires managers and executives to monitor business performance and take decisive steps to maintain or improve outcomes. Strategic partnerships, go-to-market-strategy, and business plans are built on service level agreements that use business performance metrics to specify the commitments of the business partners. "Standard" contracting terms employ measurements terms that are often not well-defined nor standard. World-class companies are investing in business intelligence/analytic applications, employing "dashboards,"

Measuring, Managing, and Improving Business Operations is a webinar introducing the use of business process models and metrics as frameworks for rapidly assessing and improving the extended value chain. It has been designed for those of us who are not experts in business and finance and statistics and information technology and logistics and process modeling and consulting and supply chain management. If you are starting (or starting again) to explore a cross-functional, cross-enterprise KPI-driven approach to improving your business, this is designed to help orient you.
