Hello, I'm Pietro Micheli.
I'm a Professor of Business
Performance and Innovation
at Warwick Business
School in the UK.
Welcome to the series of talks
on Performance Management.
The first talk today
is going to be
about how to translate
strategy into action.
Before we introduce the content,
I'd like to just do a brief
introduction of myself,
and then also look at what
these talks will entail.

I'm a professor at Warwick,
and I've been here since 2012.
I'm also the Course Director
of the Distance Learning MBA,
which has been ranked
number one in the world
by the Financial
Times from 2018-2022.
My background is management
and engineering,
I was not particularly
good at engineering,
so I did my PhD in management,
and I specialised in
performance management.
Before coming to Warwick,
I was at Cranfield
University also in the UK,
at the Centre for
Business Performance,
where I'm still a
visiting professor,
and I was also a
researcher for the
Advanced Institute of
Management in London.
I also worked as a director
of a government agency in
my home country in Italy,
I was the Director of
the Italian Commission
for public sector
evaluation in the period
from late 2009-2011.
I've been working
as a researcher
and consultant in
three main areas.
One, very much connected
to this series of talks,
so how would we measure
and manage performance
in organizations?
But also looking at how
organizations create
and implement
strategy and finally,
themes around
innovation management,
design thinking,
agile, lean startup,
and digital transformation.
