Workshop B: Financial Effectiveness through Business Planning and Forecasting
In today’s fast moving and tumultuous economic environment, many companies are being
forced to rethink their strategy, while simultaneously maintaining a fierce focus on their
financial results. Never have both strategic and financial agility been so critically important.
Strategy must be formed and deployed rapidly, and companies must be prepared to
change on a dime. And that means that planning, forecasting, and budgeting must be equally
nimble – in this environment, a cumbersome, 3-6 month budget process simply cannot
work. This workshop will demonstrate how to leverage Agile Strategic Planning to drive
dynamic planning, budgeting, and forecasting. It will also show how to make strategic and financial
planning and management the flexible, continuous process it needs to be to survive
and prosper in today’s volatile and perilous marketplace.
Developing a strategy- focused financialplan/budget
Dynamic modeling, measurement, and management of your plan, forecast and budget
Driving predictability of financial results: strategic alignment and execution of strategy
