CBPM
"I thought that the meeting on Friday was most worthwhile for all points of view. I'm sure that the students got a lot out of it, and the Fisher Staff had to learn from the dialogue also. Finally, the industry people present had to feel good about getting to know OSU, Fisher and some of the students better. For me, I always enjoy sharing my experiences-- but just as important, continuing to grow in my knowledge of business and what is new and cutting edge. Thanks for that opportunity."

The Center for Business Performance Management (CBPM) at The Fisher College of Business is a forum for faculty and students to interact with business practitioners who share an interest in the development and implementation of business performance management (BPM). It has long been a tradition at the College to provide and be recognized for the most advanced and timely academic and research results. As global enterprises demand more of their leaders, we feel that building BPM into the total Fisher experience will address that need. BPM is much more than consulting services wrapped around data management. Our research and vision will be comprehensive, yet straight forward. BPM is quite simply delivering, in a timely manner, accurate and manageable information to strategic analysts and managers. As with the establishment of this first ever US based center for BPM, the College strives to be recognized for our leadership in training, research and creativity.
As an integral part of the Center, the College will form an alliance with select corporate partners who will play a vital role in the initiative. These strategic members of the BPM Center will advise College and Center leadership in the ever changing business environment plus will have direct access to:
- Academic research on BPM
- Interaction with students trained in broad and timely BPM practices
- Collaborative initiatives with other Center members
- Brand visibility on the Fisher and Ohio State campus
- Eligibility for participation in customized Executive Education programs
- Leadership recognition in BPM Case Challenges & Symposiums
- Curriculum input
The Center and the Fisher BPM initiative will leverage every available business and academic global channel. Our far reaching mandate reflects a business model that refuses to accept arbitrary borders. Therefore, our international footprint will begin with strategic alliances with Peking University and Cranfield School of Management, UK. We hope to expand that outreach in the near future.
