It is targeted to all BCM professionals looking to implement or update their metrics program. Reporting is the linchpin of the Exercise, Audit & Maintenance for your plan.

The seminar will provide: • Guidelines for defining program milestones, relevant output, and expected results. • A thorough presentation of metrics in general: common metric tracking processes, how they are tracked, how often and what they represent. • Strategies for understanding your audience: who they are, why should they care and creating metrics that resonate with them. • Understanding how deficiencies can be used to your advantage: how they lead to success of the program, provide energy for change and how to avoid becoming "Red Averse." Course: One Day, 8:30am – 5:00pm Qualifying Exam: None - Certificate of Completion
