Finally … here's your chance to turn Performance Management from an overwhelming, hard-to-get-started initiative into a series of manageable action steps you can put to work immediately.

Join us for the PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT FORUM 2007, October 16-17 at the University of Chicago's Gleacher Center.
