Creating a Culture of Planning, Execution, and Accountability (formerly Managerial Accounting)

Deliver ideas that will help you do your job better, by promoting better systems, challenging ineffective or inefficient metrics, and creating a lean measurement culture.

Objective

In this two-day program, we will discuss fundamental performance management and control systems, including structured measurement models, analytical techniques, and system biases. We will establish a firm grounding in proven measurement techniques and address cost-benefits issues: knowing what we need to know for managing and controlling performance without excessively constraining the organization. This program delivers ideas to help you do your job better by promoting better performance measurement systems, challenging ineffective or inefficient metrics, and creating a culture of planning, execution, and accountability.
