CMA Centre for Strategic Change and Performance Measurement

Welcome to the CMA Centre for Strategic Change and Performance Measurement, located within the Segal Graduate School of Business at Simon Fraser University.

The Centre's vision is to assist organizational leaders and managers in acquiring the skills and tools necessary to plan and execute strategic change that will result in improved organizational performance.

 

The Segal Seminar Series on Organizations, Strategy, and Technology (SSSOST) is a seminar series intended to contribute to the research community of our Faculty by providing a regular, interdisciplinary series of seminars by “resident” scholars. In particular, SSSOST offers a forum for doctoral students and new Faculty members to present their work.
