Christoph Papenfuss, Business Analytics Evangelist

Welcome to the Performance Ideas blog! My name is Christoph Papenfuss and I have been working in the area of Business Analytics and Performance Management for over 14 years. Ten of those years were spent in sunny Silicon Valley where I had the opportunity to work with many inspiring companies. In 2007, I relocated to Europe together with my wife and twin boys. We live about 30 minutes away from the Alps just outside beautiful Munich, Germany.

I am currently one of the few business analytics evangelists at IBM. Our team focuses on developing and promoting thought-leadership and best practices around business analytics. It is my personal mission to get people and companies excited about what business analytics can offer. The majority of my time is spent working with our great customers and partners. I started my career as a management consultant in the Silicon Valley office of KPMG.

The mission of the Performance Ideas blog is to collect and share thoughts & insights about the relatively young discipline of Performance Management and Business Analytics. I started the site in October of 2010.

When I am not traveling, you can often spot me somewhere around the Bavarian Alps hiking with my family, riding my Canadian Cervelo bike or taking photographs with one of my Nikon cameras.

Thanks much for your interest in this blog. Please feel free to share your comments. Discussion is essential for progressing our thinking.

    I am a career CFO and have been occupying the position of either CFO or Controller in different companies for the past 19 years. Throughout my entire career I have been placing the highest priority on Performance Analysis . Long time before KPIs and dashboards became familiar terms, I have been tailoring information into reports that facilitated best executive decision-making. I am glad that you have found the time to come back to writing your posts. If you have a moment to spare, please, check out my blog The Frustrated CFO at http://www.thefrustratedcfo.typepad.com. My focus lies in smaller entrepreneurial businesses and the blog covers broader issues related to the plight of financial executives employed by them. Nevertheless, you may find some of the issues interesting for yourself and your colleagues. Meanwhile, I will subscribe to your blog in anticipation of new posts.
