PITTSBURGH-Thursday, February 23rd 2017 [ ME NewsWire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- In a recent CMMI Institute study, nearly 50% of organizations reported that they don’t have standard processes in place that enable them to adapt their capabilities quickly to opportunities. And, now more than ever, leaders must ensure their organizations deliver above and beyond customer expectations and find new ways to stand out in the marketplace. For over 25 years, CMMI has been helping thousands of organizations—including Honeywell, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Fujitsu, IBM, HP, Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco Systems, and Intel—assess their organizational capability and drive higher performance.

Tap into expertise and resources on how to identify the key capabilities that distinguish your organization by attending the CMMI Institute’s annual Capability Counts Conference on 16 and 17 May 2017 in Alexandria, VA, just outside of Washington, DC. The conference will feature CMMI success stories focused on delivering actionable insights on what it means to be a capable, mature organization and how to create a culture of continuous improvement.

“Capability is the building block of strategy, and strategy is how we compete. Capability equals competitive ability,” states Kirk Botula, CEO of CMMI Institute. “The Capability Counts 2017 program will focus on organizations that build strategies to drive business growth and leverage their capabilities to create a culture of competitive advantage and continuous improvement.”

Join hundreds of professionals dedicated to performance and capability improvement from an array of backgrounds, countries, and experiences. Choose from over 80 sessions, hands-on tutorials, interactive panel discussions, and more. Work one-on-one with consultants and learn from global CMMI experts from an array of backgrounds and industries. Experts from Honeywell, Siemens, Garmin, Aetna, NASA, CAE, MITRE, and Deloitte will be in attendance and sharing their knowledge and experience.

Greg Williams, NASA Deputy Associate Administrator for Policy and Plans in the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate (HEOMD), is the conference’s opening keynote speaker.

Williams assists the HEOMD in charting the future course of NASA’s human space exploration programs. He works to shape and respond to the policy environment in which human spaceflight programs are conducted both internal and external to the agency. During his keynote address, Mr. Williams will talk about NASA’s vision going forward, exploration plans, and future missions.

Professionals of all levels will learn about best practices and solutions at Capability Counts 2017. Customize your two-day schedule and select sessions from seven tracks. You’ll hear from industry experts sharing how their organizations leveraged capability and outpaced the competition to deliver successful products and services. You’ll also hear from organizations in the healthcare and government sectors with compelling stories of their CMMI adoption and capability improvement experience.
