Will we ever get used to the rapid pace of change? Is our organization changing as fast as society? These are just some of the questions that must be asked and will be discussed in this program. Forecasting and budgeting are two words that often draw an adverse reaction from many financial professionals; let us help you turn that upside down with our innovative approach to planning and budgeting. Recent changes in our economy have shown us that our planning process must be far nimbler and allow our organization to shift rapidly. We'll move beyond the traditional techniques and show you easier ways to complete the process while cutting out the political pitfalls that end up causing a lack of accountability and can be demotivating to the staff. During the seminar we will cover such topics as the sales/income plan, capital equipment planning, the “one-year operating plan” (formerly referred to as a budget), the “monthly operating plan,” cash planning, risk planning, and much more! Join us for this seminar as we help you streamline your forecasting and budgeting processes, which turns into a win-win for the employees and the organization.
