The Budgeting process for an organization is meant to be a tool for managing the everyday business operations to achieve its strategic goals. Business Operations today are global and complex and the environment competitive and highly unpredictable. There is a growing need for tying the Budgets with an organizations Strategy for ensuring speed and agility. Finance departments around the world require the ability to quantify business risk by changing business drivers and measure the impact on their financial position.
The Challenge
In turn the Budget ends up being a static spreadsheet which really does not reflect the current environment or health of the business. The variables that accompany the yearly performance planning process make it a challenge to create a reliable and meaningful budget or financial forecast. Adding to this complexity is the bias and politics within an organization that gets added to the budgeting process.
