Business Performance Management - Control Frameworks and Dashboards

Introduction

This Glomacs Business Performance Management – Control Frameworks and Dashboards training course will focus on the critical role of Business Performance Management (BPM) control frameworks as the basis for effective business planning, and, crucially, as the means by which winning strategies can be converted in to detailed operating plans that provide a powerful link with organizational operations.
