Summary
Do you have the information you need to predict costs and results? The information to make good and timely decisions?
Are your planning systems fragmented across the organization?
Is your financial information aligned with operations? Do you have a clear view of what’s driving costs or where to contain them?
For many finance organizations, the answer to these questions is no. This live, interactive webcast will transform the way you think about linking financial and operational planning across all business functions. This session will show you how to increase your forecast accuracy and understand the drivers of cost, so that you can better predict business outcomes and maximize profitability.
Attend this webcast and discover how you can:
- Better model and understand your operational costs and translate them into financial terms
- Align your company’s financial and operational plans to more accurately predict and control the cost of a given activity
- Use these plans to perform dynamic rolling forecasts to ensure that your company’s most recent results are factored into future plans
The first 150 registrants will receive a complimentary copy of Planning and Budgeting for the Agile Enterprise: A Driver-Based Budgeting Toolkit. This book focuses on using external and internal non-financial drivers to predict line item expenses. It also provides case studies and examples to ensure understanding and checklists on implementation issues.
