Summary


Amid the current economic downturn, a lesson that many businesses have learned during the last 12 months is that in order to prosper going forward, they must review — and, if need be, revise — how they track key performance indicators, especially those that concern cost, profit and value.

By adapting their priorities beyond lowering costs to encompass improving their overall performance, businesses allocate resources more efficiently without sacrificing their ability to earn profit and maximize value.

During this webcast, you will hear how Mutual of Omaha is broadening its purview beyond cost savings to identify and act on opportunities to increase profit and value. From Peter B.B. Turney, author of the book Common Cents, you will find out how to recognize and avoid the most common mistakes businesses make in their cost-cutting efforts. In addition, you will learn about advances in the field of performance management that can give your organization essential tools to accurately evaluate and continually sustain its financial well-being.
