HSMAI Europe has signed a sponsor agreement with the renowned PMI company d2o (Performance Management Intelligence) who has been extremely successful in the international hospitality industry over the last couple of years chiefly among the larger chains but also with independent operations.
The HSMAI sponsorships work as a two-way arrangement mutually benefiting both parties both financially and professionally and we believe that d2o have a lot to contribute with regards to the latter but are convinced that we can provide them with a great deal of industry related feedback as well as exposure.
The next issue of the HSMAI Europe quarterly HSMAI Gazette (click here to read the first issue) features an in-depth interview with d2o’s CEO Mr. Young N. Nguyen (above) but until that we strongly recommend a look at this article. Please visit the company’s website for further details.
There are other partnerships in the pipeline too to be announced in due time.

International Expert
Mr. Michael Nowlis may seem a recurring name during the autumn term and rightfully so. Mr. Nowlis is an American residing in Paris for a number of years. He headed the Cornell Essec in Paris and fronted the international hotel organisation too. We have had the good fortune to use him as lecturer at several earlier occasions to which members have responded extremely well.
For the last four years Michael has been directing the Senior Executive Programme at London Business School.æ LBS has been in the news a lot since it was named the top business school in the world by the Financial Times earlier this year.æ He directs their flagship executive education programme for C-suite enterprise leaders at major global corporations.æ Harvard is the only other business school that has a programme at this level.
He also continues his consulting and seminar activities.
We would like to use this opportunity to welcome new members from all over Europe hoping that together we will prosper and thrive as a result of new knowledge brought about by the industry’s top notch experts.
Sincerely
Ingunn Hofseth
President & CEO HSMAI Europe
