Glen White, the President of Dakota Analytics, recently delivered a presentation to the Calgary CMA chapter about "Corporate Performance Management". Most businesses now rank profitability as a higher priority than revenue growth and one of the best ways to monitor and manage profitability is through corporate performance management. The entire presentation focused on the need for businesses to have accountability, predictability, visibility and communication throughout their organizations, which if successful will have a great impact on profitability. Throughout the presentation, Glen identified specific problem areas and solutions that will help organizations break out of the aging and un-reliable planning processes and implement modern and advanced corporate management tools and strategies.

A big thank you goes out to everyone that came out to see John Kopcke speak about the future of Business Intelligence, Data warehousing and Hyperion. Both events were very successful with John speaking to BI industry professionals in the morning and to the CIPS data warehouse sig in the afternoon. Everybody left with a good sense of where the BI and data warehousing industries are headed and what was coming with Hyperion System 9. We've already got plans to bring in more influential industry leaders in 2006 and we look forward to partnering with CIPS on future events.
