Mark Stevens of PCS Consulting is among thought leader group of speakers at the International Business Performance Trends Conference in Portugal to share and collaborate on trends in performance management.
Organizations who understand the key variables of their profitability will be one step ahead of their competition. It is becoming more difficult for top management to decide where to invest time and money, from all the methodologies and tools available, in order to guarantee that any transformation is aligned with the strategy and expected results.
