Supported by Leadership and Management Development for Growth Expert Talk Series Finding the right performance measures for your business Tuesday 12 May, 6-8pm Location: LLMC, Ground Floor, David Chiddick Building on Brayford Wharf East at the University of Lincoln. Our media-frenzied world surrounds us with figures, most of which are meaningless unless considered within the correct context. A successful business needs to understand its core figures from both an internal and an external perspective, and these perspectives are often different. Frequently, directors, managers, owners, banks, stakeholders and the media will focus on a quantum figure rather than challenging the relationship of one figure to another. This interactive session will challenge participants to consider the figures that drive them and their business, how to measure success and how to determine value. Presenters: Mark Wearden MSc FCCA FCIS is Senior Lecturer in Corporate Finance and Corporate Governance at Lincoln Business School, University of Lincoln and the owner/director of MBS challenging perception, a strategy consultancy. He has worked 12 years in merchant banking as an analyst, 8 years in industry as a finance director and 20 years working through MBS with many organisations. His areas of interest are ‘governance thinking’ , ‘risk’ and ‘supply chain challenge’; in particular exploring the dichotomy that frequently exists between theory and practice.
