Cranfield seminars on Corporate Performance Management
The CIMA Sri Lanka division announced two master courses that will be
conducted by Dr Mike Bourne, Professor of Business Performance,
Cranfield University School of Management, UK.
The two Corporate Performance Management master courses 'Delivering
Performance through Direction and People' and Strategy Execution' will
be held on 21 and 22 January respectively.
People are our greatest asset! A phrase often used, but often not
believed. In reality, we know we only perform through directing and
motivating our people, but often we don't act with this in mind,
especially in times of economic difficulty. Why is this? It is because
we haven't had an explicit framework that links people management
practices, corporate performance management and financial performance.
The half day Master course titled Delivering Performance through
Direction and People" will provide that linkage.
Mike Bourne will present and illustrate a framework that links people
practices, goal and direction setting with business performance. The
programme will be based on a series of cases conducted in the UK and a
detailed quantitative analysis.
Drawing on his personal experience of working with organisations, Dr
Bourne will illustrate the framework with practical examples of how to
direct and manage people through a down turn.
The second programme covers strategy.
The vast majority of company strategies are never executed.
The result is that all the effort in creating the strategy is wasted
and the organisation lacks leadership and direction.
The one day workshop titled 'Strategy Execution' will provide a
number of insights into why strategy isn't executed and tools and
techniques for improving strategy implementation and organisational
success. Executing strategy, setting direction, Measurement and target
setting, Visualising Performance, Managing with measures and Corporate
Performance Management in Practice are some of the topics that will be
covered by Dr Bourne in the one day program.
