Between the European and US CIO Summits, the Canadian Leadership Summit and the Gartner BI Conference, there has been many opportunities to hear that interest in BI is strong despite the economy (check out this article for more).
In July, I will be presenting and signing at the Worldwide Partner Conference 2009. Ping me to connect if you are attending.
Also, my Cranfield School of Management interviews are now published here - take a look and let me know what you think!

See you at the Worldwide Partner Conference!
Business Performance - Top priority again!
Over the last few months, I have had the opportunity to meet many Entreprise CIOs and quite a few of you confirm the results of Gartner's recent EXP survey (here). Business Performance is top of mind.
I had this opportunity to meet retail CIOs at the recent National Retail Federation Show (here) in January. I'm looking forward to meeting many of you at the events I will present/sign books these next few months:
EMEA CIO Summit (here)
Gartner BI Conference (here)
US CIO Summit (here)
Also, we made a couple of updates to www.cultureofperformance.com and www.brunoaziza.com. Find one of the videos in this blog and let us know what you think.

A Month of events!
October was a very busy month! I had the opportunity to present in front of 3,000 people at Microsoft’s 2nd annual Business Intelligence Conference, during Stephen Elop’s keynote, President of Microsoft Business Division. Check out the presentation here and script here.
After the conference, Joey and I travelled the world to discuss Performance Management at the BPM Summit in New York (here), the Enterprise CIO Summit (here), as well as lecturing at the Cranfield School of Management in London (here) and Palladium’s North American’s Summit in San Diego (here).
Also, take a look at a recent interview I gave to the B-EYE network on Business Intelligence and a feature of our methodology on the Successfactors site:
