Using Metrics for Better Decision Making -- Apr 21 Austin Breakfast & Webinar

 Registration is closed for this event
Preface: reflecting our desire to return to in-person events -- and PEN's vision of transitioning to a hybrid format that rotates the in-person host location -- our April 21 discussion will serve as a pilot, with a small in-person audience in Austin MN and the majority of attendees participating online throughout our four-state region. For those online, we're working to provide a similar experience to what you've come to expect the last couple of years -- high quality content delivered in an efficient, convenient, accessible and interactive format.  For those participating in-person, our audience will be extremely limited (20 people for this first session), so first-registered-first-served!  And we will be abiding by the COVID protocols described below. We appreciate our members' understanding, support, and flexibility through these last two years, and we look forward to learning along side you all as to what provides "the best of both worlds" with future hybrid events.

Many people don’t know the mission of Hormel Institute.  Celebrating its 80th anniversary this year, Hormel Institute is an innovative cancer and biomedical research facility with collaborative research partners that include the Masonic Cancer Center at the University of Minnesota, the Mayo Clinic, IBM, and many other leading research centers worldwide.  Their mission is to cure cancer, which absolutely demands cutting-edge research, expert scientists, and world class data.

The Performance Excellence Network — in partnership with the Wisconsin Center for Performance Excellence — is pleased to host a hybrid discussion on Thursday, April 21: “Using Metrics for Better Decision Making.”  We are excited to feature Dr. Robert Clarke, Ph.D., D.Sc., Executive Director of The Hormel Institute as the discussion facilitator.

Dr. Clarke will offer an overview of where The Hormel Institute stands today and the vision for the future, as the nonprofit looks to its next 80 years.  He’ll also share some of the metrics they use to track research performance and their impact on decision making at the Institute.  Dr. Clarke will share how they select their metrics, their measurement agility (how they shift what data they use in response to changes or updated understanding), and how they disseminate metrics and knowledge for better decision making, more innovation and breakthrough results – concepts that could be useful in any organization, even if they aren’t curing cancer!

This session is Thursday, April 21 from 8:00-9:00 CT (optional networking and mingling 7:45-8:00, both online and in the room). In person location: Hormel Institute in Austin, Minnesota.  Online link provided at registration. Free for PEN/WCPE members; $20 for non-members (both online or in person).
