Summary

Effective performance management has been hailed as the salvation for companies seeking to align their resources and translate corporate strategy into individual actions. It integrates multiple methodologies, such as balanced scorecards, strategy maps, budgets, activity-based cost management, forecasts and resource planning. But does performance management really work? How widely accepted is the concept in business and industry?

In this Webcast presentation, a leading practitioner and author will go in-depth about the benefits of performance management, including insight into how:

  • Performance management can make "strategy" a priority for all employees.
  • Strategy maps and balanced scorecards communicate strategic objectives to employee teams.
  • All levels of management can quickly assess how they're doing on important tasks - and respond.
  • Activity-based cost management (ABC/M) provides transparency of costs related to work processes and consumed resources.
  • ABC/M provides below-the-gross-margin line cost-to-serve channel and customer profitability analysis.
  • Performance scorecards and ABC/M information can be integrated with process-based thinking and operational improvement (e.g., Six Sigma, supply chain management).

    You will also have a chance to see a case study presented by Kimberly-Clark that highlights its successful customer and supply chain strategies -- and their impact on the bottom line.

    Featured Speakers:

  • Gary Cokins, CPIM, Strategist, SAS, author of Activity-Based Cost Management: An Executive's Guide
  • David Strachan, Manager, Kimberly-Clark Corporation
