BSC Forum 2010 - Dubai
I had the pleasure of serving as Chairman for the recent BSC Forum 2010 in Dubai with Drs. Kaplan and Norton. We hosted strategy leaders from private and public sector organizations across the Middle East for a compelling and productive 2-day Masterclass, followed by a 3 day event.
I was most excited to use the conference as the global premier of the latest research Bruno Aziza and I are working on, including the concepts Strategy 2.0 and The Social Strategist. Learn more in the interview with DubaiEYE Nightline below.
More details, pics, vids and audio coming soon... but in the mean time, here's the brochure.

New Book Cites Drive Business Performance
In her new book The Logical Organization: A Strategic Guide To Driving Corporate Performance Using Business Intelligence, author Gail La Grouw cites Drive Business Performance on page 464:
In their book “Drive Business Performance24 , Bruno Aziza and Joey Fitts define a “Culture of Performance Methodology” that outlines the values, capabilities and principles required to effectively monitor, analyze and plan. It provides a useful framework against which Organizations can recognize their maturity in the use of performance systems, and guidelines as to how Organizations can best proceed to shore up their current strengths and build up their weaknesses. A key insight the methodology reveals is that whilst the strength of each capability continues to evolve, the relative strength between capabilities changes as the overall enterprise intelligence capability matures. This is an important point for companies to recognize.
