22nd ISPI EMEA Annual Conference

2023 Call for Proposals

See 2022 and Other Previous Conference Feedback

Most conferences provide value by assembling speakers who share their wisdom and insights against an interesting unifying theme. We at ISPI EMEA feel that we have a way to make our conference deliver significantly more value to both presenters and participants. Our conferences have always aimed to be smaller in size but much greater in level of participation and interactivity, than typical conferences.

We are organizing a hybrid in-person and virtual conference in 2023. In response to geopolitical conflict and global uncertainty, we will be holding our unique, highly interactive, engaging conference in a hybrid format.  With our 2023 Call For Proposals, we are looking for a small number of 30-45 min. presentations on compelling topics that fit within the wider conference theme. We expect all sessions selected for presentation to provide participants with practical, valuable insight and tools in alignment with the conference theme:

“Performance Improvement in Turbulent and Transitionary Times”

Some broad topics related to this year’s conference theme, include:​

• Strategic Global Trends and Organization Strategies
• Organization Strategies and Performance Improvement
• Measurement and Management for Sustainable Results
• Organization Structure, Work Process and Job Redesign
• Innovation for Sustainable Results and Strategic Global Impact
• Outside-In Alignment of Sustainable Results Goals
• Performance Management Tools, Frameworks, Methods and Practices – Data & Analysis for Management
• Focus on Customers, the Customers of Customers and Societal (Strategic Global) Impact
• Nonprofit Renewal and Sustainability
• Hybrid Workforce and Organization Culture
• Impact of Change at the Strategic Global Level
• Performance Management and Organization Culture
• Managing Transformation for Sustainable Results
• Focus on Sustainable Results and Alignment of Results at all Levels of Performance (Work, Worker, Workplace, World)
• Challenges and Opportunities of Technology in Achieving Sustainable Performance Results
• Education 4.0, On-Job-Training, Apprenticeships
• Focus on Results, Performance Improvement and Sustainability in the Public Sector
• People Engagement for Inclusive, Strategically, Societally Meaningful, Growth and Sustainability
• Performance Improvement and Resilience to External and Uncontrollable Factors

Remember, we are particularly looking for sessions that will present successful examples and/or models, of approaches and tools that can be applied by participants to situations and projects they will face when they return home. We encourage you to choose a topic that will be compelling to conference participants and address one or more performance areas where many would see value in enhanced perspectives, skills and/or tools.

All sessions will be available for in-person and synchronous virtual participation and will be recorded for asynchronous viewing. At the end of each in-person day, an interactive session will be offered for in-person and virtual attendees to discuss the day’s presentations and plan for the following day. We are seeking volunteers to lead the discussions during the interactive sessions.
