Planning Solutions
Budgeting, Forecasting and Strategic planning are key business activities which involve many stakeholders. Therefore, having the right planning solutions in place is vital.
Preparation
Let’s start by defining the process; which stakeholders should be involved, what timelines, what level of detail is necessary for the desired outputs.
What base data will be used? Will predictive analytics be used to support the stakeholders?
It is so important to be planning the right things, with the right KPIs, etc
Process
How will the stakeholders be involved?
What controlling and feedback loop will be in place to identify and resolve issues quickly?
Corporate planning processes are typically inefficient and ineffective, often taking up-to 6 months to complete.
A well designed process and utilising modern planning tools will remove the frustrations and loss of perspective experienced by many organisations.
Planning Solutions - Outputs
At what levels and in which formats will the review take place?
The planning process should generate review materials which clearly present the outputs, relevant comparisons and KPIs
Financial and Non-financial business indicators, as well as business unit narratives should form part of the outputs.
