International conference · Serralves Foundation, Porto · 31 May 2013

We brought Gary Cokins and seven world leaders in performance management to Serralves.

Cost and Profitability organised, with Porto Business School and Porto City Council, an international conference that filled a sold-out Serralves auditorium with around 200 senior executives - CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, CMOs and COOs - to hear the world's foremost names in costing and performance management. The claim of the day: “Key tools and methods for performance improvement opportunities.”

01What it was

A full day on where performance is really won.

One venue, one question: which tools and methods actually move performance? Eight speakers from across distribution, telecom, banking, health care, oil and gas and technology answered it in front of a room of decision-makers - not with theory, but with the methods they were putting to work. Gary Cokins opened and closed the day; the sessions in between mapped the state of the art in costing and profitability management.

The format was deliberate: eight sessions, two Open Forum Q&A panels, a working lunch and a conference dinner. Enough time for the audience to press the speakers, and for the speakers to compare notes across industries.
