Executing Strategy, Achieving Results, the ActiveStrategy Spring 2005 Conference, was packed with insightful presentations, practical tools, and powerful networking opportunities for organizations at every step along the “Performance Management Journey.”

Attendees represented incredibly diverse industries and geographies and included executives and managers from AstraZeneca, Bristol Myers Squibb, ChevronTexaco, General Dynamics, GMAC Commercial Mortgage, Intel, Kaiser Permanente, Miami-Dade County, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Northrop Grumman, SSM Health Care, University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, The Washington Post, Wyeth, and more.

Chairman and CEO, Jack Steele set the stage with the question: if your organization is not achieving your desired results today, how are you going to change? His discussion both inspired and provided realistic ways conference attendees can bring about change in their organizations to drive long-term business results.

The dynamic keynote speaker, VP Corporate Business Process Excellence with The Coca-Cola Company, built upon the theme, exploring the evolution of the Business Process Excellence initiative within an organization that has traditionally resisted change.

Other presentation topics: creating self-sustaining value with a Balanced Scorecard framework; continuing the Performance Management Journey after winning a Baldrige Award; rolling out a Performance Management framework within a 30,000-person organization; techniques for aligning your vision, your strategy and your scorecards. Case studies from ActiveStrategy clients in various industries described impressive results they’d seen to date.

New to this year’s conference were special breakout sessions for health care organizations. These popular workshops were led by high-level executives from some of today’s most progressive hospitals and health systems. The focus for these sessions was how to make the necessary, but difficult, leap from a focus on patient-level clinical quality to a more holistic view of hospital performance management.

In addition, attendees were able to see new product demonstrations and service offerings, providing a first-hand look at how powerful the ActiveStrategy software suite can be. Through the unique combination of leading technology and experiential business consulting, ActiveStrategy can help create strategy-driven, results-oriented, performance-accountable organizations.

We look forward to seeing you at the next ActiveStrategy Conference.
