Ever wondered what sets the stage for best-in-class business, finance, and operations planning processes? It's all about Budgeting & Forecasting Readiness – the art of effective communication and preparation that transforms planning into a strategic powerhouse. If you are ready to prepare your company for success in 2025 and beyond, join your peers for this discussion in the Q3 CFO Alliance Roundtable Series.
Budgeting & Forecasting Readiness isn't just about ticking boxes; it's about defining granularity levels, scenario analysis, transparent communication, and mitigating process risks. Teams that master these components not only lead efficient planning processes but also produce high-quality forecasts that drive alignment and accountability.
This series is your opportunity to collaborate with fellow CFOs and industry peers in constructing a Budgeting & Forecasting Readiness Playbook tailored for the 2025 planning season. Regardless of your industry, tech stack, or team structure, you'll tap into the collective wisdom and battle scars of peers to walk away with actionable takeaways for robust 2025 budgets.
Learning Objectives include:
- Foster stakeholder dialogue to ensure the planning process meets diverse needs and goals.
- Choose the optimal budget approach (top-down, bottom-up, zero-based, etc.).
- Thread the needle on granularity, balancing materiality and ongoing tracking goals.
- Organize working groups and timelines to meet stakeholder expectations.
- Tackle process pain points spanning team, data, and platform challenges.
