Facilitated by Aurel Brudan, CEO of The KPI Institute, this in-house training course was delivered between the 17^th and 18^th of July 2017, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, for a multinational professional services network specialized in accounting – the second largest professional services firm in the world. Vault Accounting 50 has ranked this company as the most prestigious accounting firm in the world for seven consecutive years, as well as the top firm to work for in North America for three consecutive years.

“It is a good course for professionals seeking to understand general and high level inclusions of Performance Management”, said Mr. Omar Sabbahi, assistant manager.

The course provides a strong foundation towards improving performance in different scenarios by presenting a sound architecture containing relevant tools, processes, and techniques. This training course presents 6 pillars that need to be applied to ensure performance management – starting from data analysis and reporting, spanning decision making and initiative management, to learning and building a performance culture.

The 6 pillars are then implemented in 9 different scenarios that vary from organizational context (e.g. company, departmental, and employee level) and relationship with stakeholders (e.g. Joint Ventures, suppliers, and personal level), to operations (e.g. process, project, and quality management).

The training course was attended by professionals from United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. They featured strong backgrounds and areas of expertise in consulting.

To enable both the theoretical understanding and practical experience of using Performance Management tools and techniques, we integrated group discussions, exercises, simulations and case studies.

Participants were actively engaged in the collaborative learning environment, readily sharing opinions and experiences.
