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.”
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.
