Planning process with "Single Tool of Planning"
Realistic planning scenarios and future-oriented company strategies – these are topics that companies must focus on increasingly today, given the new business models and the harsh competition on the markets.
In order to design planning content and processes optimally, the following critical success factors need to be taken into account:
- imulation of possible scenarios and their strategic impact
- High degree of integration into individual partial plans on operational level (budget)
- Goal-orientation in operational planning and corresponding consistency of strategy cascading
- Reduction of budgeting depth and corresponding increase of flexibility in operational planning
- Continuous forecast planning with adaptation of budget responsibility
- Better integration of planning application
- Reduction of planning times
Our Approach
In our experience, a planning process can only be illustrated successfully if it is supported by a „single tool of planning“ that assures transparency, traceability and data quality as well as sound processes. In addition, the increasing complexity and dynamics of the corporate environment also need to be modeled appropriately.
In order to design the overall planning process in a company transparently and efficiently, today, the suitable use of integrated planning technology offers outstanding possibilities. What remains decisive for success, however, is efficient implementation.
- Taking into due consideration the organizational framework conditions and processes
- Optimum integration and use of the technical components
