CFO Magazine's Excellence in Finance: Corporate Performance Management will be held at The Plaza Hotel,
New York, NY on February 8-10, 2004.
Keynote Addresses:
Professor Robert Kaplan, the Co-Developer of The Balanced Scorecard, is America's foremost thinker on performance management and value building. He will share the results of his latest research on aligning intangible assets for competitive advantage. Professor Kaplan will also provide a practical look at solutions and pitfalls as companies implement their balanced scorecard performance management systems. He offers unique insights on why so many fail to align business operations, performance metrics, initiatives, incentives, and strategy. And he explains how successful CFOs get it right.
Charles Atwood, CFO of Harrah's Entertainment, will discuss how customer analytics represents a brave new world for many finance executives and how he has set a standard to emulate at Harrah's. Working closely with the corporate CIO, Mr. Atwood created a fact-based view of what drives loyalty, satisfaction, and profitability across diverse customer segments at Harrah's various entertainment locations. The business benefits have been rapid and significant for general managers across the enterprise.
Nicholas Carr, Author of "IT Doesn't Matter," will discuss how he has created a storm of controversy with his Harvard Business Review article that questioned the role of information technology in industry leadership.
