Business Planning and Forecasting

The key for all businesses is a robust business plan with a rolling forecast – that the whole organisation is supporting and fully behind

For this a practical easy to use system is required – as there is nothing more damaging than a planning / monitoring tool that is difficult or cumbersome to use.

Planning a route

For all journeys you need only a few things

  • The destination
  • The time wish to arrive
  • Mode of Transport
  • Awareness of issues on route

Business is no different

A robust business plan is key

With 20 years’ experience we know how important these are to any organisation

Equally we know that these must add value and not simply be an added admin task that no one really uses . At all times we avoid the dreaded NVAW (Non Value Added Work)

To help you understand our approach we have made a couple of short and helpful presentations that will be of benefit for anyone involved in forecasting / business planning

The initial presentation covers the principles of how a business plan should be built up, based upon small simple to estimate details that when combined creates a plan that will help all areas of the business beyond sales .

When used correctly this becomes a key business tool for the whole organisation

Marketing to help plan what activities / campaigns to run and when so they can project manage these

Production to ensure that sufficient stock can be produced to meet demand – and also to focus on the correct stock required

Finance – to manage any expenditure or cash flow issues

Macro to Micro

The second presentation is an actual example that illustrates how simple and straight forward this tool can be and how empowering this is to both the sales manager and also the business as a whole.
