measurement, this year's conference will also focus on the role of
nonprofits and community organizations in collecting and using

Dec. 16th Webinar: Beyond Transparency - Using Dashboards for Business Decisions
|
|
In
times of financial difficulty performance measurement tools can provide
valuable information that can be used to head off a worsening crisis. One such example exists in the state of Washington. The
Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) implemented a dashboard system
six years ago and Stevan Gorcester, Director of the TIB credits that
system with providing him with warning signs and data three months
before other trends began to show that a true fiscal crisis was on the
horizon for his agency. The lead-time allowed him to make earlier
resource decisions and avoid even bigger financial problems. Talk with
Stevan and learn more about the system that they developed in house,
how they use it for every day business decisions and how it has been
particularly valuable in forecasting and warning of a difficult revenue
future.
Join us for a live webinar with Stevan Gorcester on December 16, 2009
from 1:00 - 2:00 pm EST where he will discuss how the use of
performance measurement information and the dashboard system provided
him with a three-month lead on the financial crisis and allowed him to
make adjustments to spending, projects and resources ahead of the curve. To register for the FREE webinar: http://www.ppmrn.net/resources/articles/6732
