Program Description:
Leaders and their teams need timely, accurate, and unbiased information to improve organizational performance and influence change. Reliable information, delivered fast, provides the ability to make better and faster decisions.
However, while the world is increasingly interconnected and digital, performance consultants often employ methods that are flat and analog. This creates inefficiencies and vulnerabilities that harm the client and tear at the consultant-client relationship.
Continuous performance improvement—the new CPI—powered by cloud technologies, helps organizations move from static lists to informed decision making and accelerated results.
In this session we’ll learn more about the following:
- The three factors that lead to poor change results
- Why traditional business tools are insufficient for performance consulting
- The business case for using the cloud in performance consulting
- Cloud applications designed specifically for performance analysis, project management, and reporting
- Four success factors for improving adoption
