Before You Tie a Ribbon Around the Operating Plan

Overview Before tying a ribbon around the plan, there is a need to consider ten questions to assess and improve the effectiveness of the plan and planning process. An effective operating plan will help to ensure that the organization achieves the objectives for the coming year and beyond. Since the finance organization is typically the process owner, many annual planning exercises place too much emphasis on the financial and budgetary aspects, and too little on the strategic, operational, process and project aspects. These ten questions will be explored in this webcast to assess the overall effectiveness of the annual planning process and to highlight best practices, including rolling business outlooks, scenario planning, employee engagement, and a focus on key assumptions and critical business drivers.
