EPM Business Planning

How integrated and effective are your organization's planning and budgeting processes?

A central finding of The Hackett Group's 2005 study "Planning on the Move!" was that traditional approaches have been widely criticized and planning/budgeting is "on the move".

This global study looks at the way budgeting and planning processes are carried out in today's business environment, how these processes have changed since the 2005 study and what further changes are planned going forward.

  • Strategic Planning (Long - Term) - current state
  • Mid - Term Operating Planning - current state
  • Annual Planning/Budgeting - current state
  • Overall Planning Integration - current state
  • Planning on the Move - intentions to change your planning processes over the next 2 years.

The performance study should be completed from the perspective of the entire organization's strategic planning, mid-term operating planning and annual planning/budgeting processes.

As a participant in this study, you will receive a Hackett "Book of Numbers™" with the performance study results at no cost. The evaluation will allow you to judge your position against other companies and establish a baseline for possible improvement in your planning processes.
