Using Measurement for Continuous Improvement

Dateline Louisiana. Executive security practitioners...mark your calendars: December 10 and 11 for New Orleans. The ASIS Council on Business Practices will be hosting Using Measurement for Continuous Improvement. Now more than ever...this program will enable you to extrapolate the strategic value of your security operation, competitively compete for funding, and be recognized for contribution. 'Survive and thrive' tools will range from balanced scorecard through benchmarking and Six Sigma. The 'all star' faculty features representatives of Agilent Technologies, Boise Cascade Office Products, Fidelity Investments, Johnson and Johnson, On Line Associates, Starbucks Coffee, 3M, PPM2000, Benchmarking Network, and USIS.

If you are otherwise engaged... build your management team's bench strength by pointing one or more of your associates in our direction. If this agenda, with evenings free for barbecue shrimp and/or last minute shopping the French Quarter don't peak your interest, the latest edition of the Security Practice Reference Guide will. It is a freebie for all participants as well as an entrée to a $1,000 best practice award competition sponsored by the ASIS Foundation in 2002. Submissions for Volume V are being accepted now. Measure up. Don't be counted out. Commit yourself or an associate now and contact ASIS at 703-519-6200 or at ASISonline.
