The Hackett Group

You are invited to The Hackett Group's 4th Annual
European Best Practices Conference

In the words of Peter Drucker, "There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all." Being a leader in today's turbulent environment means executing on a plan for the future that will still be relevant when you get there.

Featuring Hackett's long-term outlook for G&A performance, the conference will give executives the opportunity to decide if their path for performance improvement is the right one by testing it against Hackett's 20/20 insights into performance metrics and best practices, combined with practical advice and experience from leading senior executives at major global corporations.

When: 16-17 October 2008
Where: The Tower, London
Theme: 20/20 Vision: Are You on the Right Path to World-Class?
