Event Announcement: Rolling Forecasts, Budgeting & Performance Measurement Master Class

EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT

ROLLING FORECASTS, BUDGETING & PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT MASTER CLASS

SAO PAULO, BRAZIL | 17 TO 19 JULY 2012

For organizations operating in a world of continuous change, traditional budgeting has become out of date. Today, managers are turning to rolling forecasts to inspire and lead their organisations to superior performance.

Rolling forecasts offer greater visibility into future operating performance. Unlike budgets, they reflect the fact that operations don’t switch off at year-end. Making good business projections isn’t as hard as it sounds. Implemented correctly, rolling forecasting can be the single most valuable tool for identifying where changes need to be made in order to maximize profitability and minimize losses. Well-established forecasting techniques can take some of the guesswork out of operational decision making and put the focus back on optimizing profitability, rather than putting out fires.

This high value practical workshop will:

• Illustrate the principles of business planning and rolling forecasts with examples and case studies drawn from a variety of industries
• Identify the process for implementing rolling forecasts in your business
• Equip you with the best practice techniques for designing an integrated business planning and rolling forecast process
• Highlight how management can use rolling forecast information to improve existing performance analysis processes
