The current technology-driven turbulent business environment presents many challenges to business managers. One primary challenge is the ability to predict and plan for the unexpectedly unpredictable future. Changes are constant. Companies struggle to find ways to manage resources and find ways to thrive and survive in this turbulent business environment.
Traditional budgeting has been overtaken by these constantly changing events as is currently outdated and irrelevant for the following reasons:
- Too time consuming
- Based on assumptions that may not be valid
- Focuses on past events, not future possibilities
- Creates a “use it” or “lose it” mentality
- Restricts creative thinking in resource management
Rolling forecasts are the wave of the future. They are rapidly replacing traditional budgeting. This webinar outlines the critical differences and advantages of rolling forecasts over traditional budgeting. It challenges finance personnel to think outside the box and embrace the advantage of rolling forecasts.
