FROM THE VP
Dear Colleague,
Welcome to The Performance Conference, the annual event showcasing the latest innovations, initiatives and best
practices in corporate performance management and process improvement.
The economic downturn is on every executive’s mind: how to manage it and get through it. Today, the role of
performance management is more important than ever for improving operational efficiencies and profitabil-
ity, and cutting costs for lasting sustainability. Performance management enables more effective management
by delivering a complete view of operations and processes. It provides greater clarity and insight into your
organization’s profitability, customers, operations and financial stability. Today’s high-performing organizations
utilize performance management systems to successfully execute strategy at all levels of their operations. That’s
why The Performance Conference has become the premiere event where executives in performance manage-
ment, human resources, operations and finance gather to hear about the latest initiatives in corporate perfor-
mance management.
Over the last 7 years, the American Strategic Management Institute has hosted The Performance Conference to
bring together performance-focused organizations to share best practices to manage for results. At this national
event, you will learn how to define and execute strategies within multiple functions: strategic performance,
financial performance, process improvement, business intelligence and workforce performance.
I hope you enjoy the conference and come away with valuable and applicable best practices that can be taken back
to your organization to improve performance and results.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Donaldson
Vice President, Education Services

KEYNOTE ADDRESS
Performance Excellence: Connecting Organizational Strategy to Individual Execution
Moving from strategy definition to strategy execution is one of the biggest challenges that organizations face in the push
to improve performance and remain competitive. The majority of organizations, large and small, continue to struggle with
effectively communicating strategy and, in turn, converting strategy into operational execution and individual performance.
Implementing a performance management system is often the key to success in bridging this gap, but the intricacies of
implementation can be intimidating and often overwhelming. This keynote presenter will address the struggles that many
organizations face when converting strategy into execution, how to effectively align performance and accountability, and
the benefits that await your organization.

OVERVIEWS
TRACK A: MEASURES AND METRICS FOR PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
Continuous studies show that organizations typically want to use performance management to improve organizational
results, stay focused on strategic priorities, shift focus when needed during times of rapid change and provide a culture
that will attract and develop employees. However, executives and managers continually struggle with finding the “right
measures” that will produce higher levels of growth and performance. Implementing, managing and utilizing meaningful
measures for your performance management system is no easy task, but it is certainly attainable and organizations quickly
see extensive rewards in successful implementation. These sessions will offer best practices and techniques to effectively
utilize and implement a performance management system within your organization and assist in finding the right measures
to incorporate into your performance management system.
TRACK B: MEASURE AND IMPROVE EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE
Employee improvement thrives when there is a clear line of sight between activities and enterprise-wide goals and
strategies. As leaders, it is our job to create an environment where employees can learn to do what they do best and then
show them the process of maximizing that talent in the organization. By developing an effective talent management system
and productive succession plan, your organization’s productivity and performance potential can grow exponentially. Learn
best practices to achieve a “line-of-sight” between employees and organizational goals and strategies, evaluate performance-
based pay and design and implement employee performance incentives.
TRACK C: LINK LEAN SIX SIGMA METHODS TO STRATEGY
Process improvement is a necessity for any high-performing organization. Organizations that don’t strategically think
about how to operate “better, faster, cheaper” often experience a decline in customer satisfaction, process speed and
process quality. All high-performing organizations around the country are constantly trying to figure out ways to improve the
quality of their work all while speeding up the process and positively affecting the bottom line. Develop process improvement
best practices and benchmarks to improve your company’s processes today.
TRACK D: FOSTER AND PROMOTE A PERFORMANCE CULTURE
It may not be easily defined or quantified, but an organization’s culture is the key to its success or failure. High-
performing organizations bring together leadership issues that define their unique character and rally people
around a deeper sense of purpose. These strategies are made tangible through the strong implementation of
management processes and systems that translate ideals into action. These sessions will offer a deeper look into what
a high-performance culture looks like, how it is established and how to maintain it.
TRACK E: MAXIMIZE LEAN SIX SIGMA TOOLS
Process improvement is a necessity for any high-performing organization. Organizations that don’t strategically think about
how to operate “better, faster, cheaper” often experience a decline in customer satisfaction, process speed and process
quality. All high-performing organizations around the country are constantly trying to figure out ways to improve
the quality of their work all while speeding up the process and positively affecting the bottom line. Develop process
improvement best practices and benchmarks to improve your company’s processes today.

KEYNOTE ADDRESS
Lead a Performance Management Culture in a Complex Organization
What does your organization want from its performance management system? What do your employees want from it? Continuous
studies show that organizations typically want to use performance management to improve organizational results, stay focused
on strategic priorities, shift focus when needed during times of rapid change and provide a culture that will attract and develop
employees. The combination of smart people and smart processes elevates a company from a “thinking organization” to a “doing
organization”. We all recognize that success depends on linking corporate goals with employee behavior, but the key lies in
focusing on people to create a culture that inspires, enables and measures top performance. This keynote address will offer best
practices and techniques to effectively utilize and implement a performance management system within your organization to
communicate goals and motivate employees.

OVERVIEWS
TRACK F: APPLY METRICS TO MANAGE PERFORMANCE
Monitoring even a few key business metrics can create a more efficient managing system for your organization.
Defining the overall goals and matching those goals with defined metrics will bring strategy substantially closer to
execution. However, the fine line is found between the amount of metrics and if they clearly relate to goals. With the
right amount of metrics, managing becomes straightforward. But, implement too many metrics and managing can become
clumsy and complicated. Follow this track if you want to learn a more efficient way of implanting metrics and how they can
be effective for your business.
TRACK G: EFFECTIVELY MANAGE BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE
Business Intelligence (BI) focuses on the use of information to drive effective business actions. Capturing,
organizing and communicating the key business requirements for your BI program requires an approach that
aligns your company’s business strategy and objectives with the technical infrastructure to deliver the right management
information to the right people at the right time. Learn how to use BI to execute strategy, optimize business processes and
improve performance.
TRACK H: ESSENTIALS OF CUSTOMER MANAGEMENT
Most senior business leaders agree that differentiating your product solely on the traditional physical elements of
price, delivery or even quality is no longer a sustainable business strategy. A new differentiator has emerged, and
that is the purposeful management of your customer’s experiences. Creating memorable customer experiences can
improve customer loyalty, satisfaction and your market position. However, many companies fail to recognize the importance
and value in purposefully enhancing each step of the customer experience with their company. Learn how to create, design
and execute memorable customer experiences to build positive customer relationships that result in revenue growth.
TRACK I: INCORPORATE EFFECTIVE BUSINESS ANALYTICS
Business analytics is at the forefront of BI and focuses on the effective use of data and information to drive
positive business actions. It is through analytics that business managers and analysts achieve the insights
that lead to informed and innovative business decisions. Yet analytics is a complex field that involves many
disciplines ranging from statistics to data visualization. Understand the concepts of business metrics and the use
of dashboards, scorecards and data mining, and learn how companies are using analytics and data as a predictive
indicator to improve profitability and reduce costs.
TRACK J: IMPROVE THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
Most senior business leaders agree that differentiating your product solely on the traditional physical elements of
price, delivery or even quality is no longer a sustainable business strategy. A new differentiator has emerged, and
that is the purposeful management of your customer experiences. Creating memorable customer experiences can improve
customer loyalty, satisfaction and your market position. However, many companies fail to recognize the importance and value
in purposefully enhancing each step of the customer experience with their company. Learn how to create, design and execute

WORKSHOP A
Lead and Organize Business Intelligence Teams: Improving Individual and Team Performance
Business Intelligence projects struggle with a variety of issues that chronically inhibit success. Some of these issues are
technical—many are not. At the core of these issues are cultural and people challenges. Is your team struggling with change,
unclear roles and responsibilities or an unpredictable culture? Has your organization learned how to focus on results, create
a productive environment, and partner with your business customers? Regardless of your position, this workshop will
provide you with practical tips and techniques for leading your team through these issues.
• Develop a framework for analyzing individual and team performance
• Identify ways to improve cross-functional collaboration
• Support improved business performance with cohesive Business Intelligence teams
