The Pub Talk begins at 6:00 p.m.
Today, organizations and top
managers must manage financial performance in times of continuous
and tumultuous change. The penalty for failing to meet near term
performance objectives is often a crushing cycle of falling investor,
customer, and employee confidence that jeopardizes the very survival
of the enterprise. Conventional corporate financial budgeting, planning,
forecasting techniques, and systems have failed to respond to the
higher capabilities required for companies to react to unplanned
variations in performance. Dramatically improving the forward visibility
of the enterprise and collapsing the time it takes to realign will
separate the winners from the losers. At this Pub Talk, Mr. Barton
will examine the Internet-powered platform capabilities that will
close the ever-broadening business capabilities gap, including:
• Business manager self-serve,
activity-level forecasting
• Incremental change capture;
real-time recompile
• Top-down steering workflow
• Pipeline and plan consumption
logic
• Dynamic process control
The business impact is a superior ability to cope with uncertainty
and change to protect and improve operating margins, thus achieving
performance objectives through the dynamic alignment of scarce enterprise
resources with market-based opportunities.
