Planning, Budgeting, and Forecasting Best Practices

Companies used to finalize budgets and forecasts months or even a full year in advance. That’s no longer possible in today’s rapidly changing environment. Modern businesses need the agility to continually update and revise their planning in the face of uncertainty.

Manual, spreadsheet-based processes don’t have the speed, accuracy, or consistency that companies need when planning, budgeting, and forecasting (PB&F). To do more with less while still producing accurate budgets and forecasts, you must incorporate modern corporate performance management (CPM) tools. CPM provides a unified platform that automates data consolidation, enables agile PB&F processes, and effortlessly generates budgets and forecasts.

This guide will give you best practices for using technology to transform and streamline your PB&F efforts. You’ll learn about:

The importance of replacing manual, Excel-based processes with modern CPM tools.
How to introduce high flexibility for continuous budgeting and forecasting.
Strategies for making PB&F a collaborative process across the organization.
The benefits of incorporating driver-based planning into your PB&F efforts.

Learn what to look for as you search for the right CPM technology for PB&F success. Download the guide today!
