The current technology-driven turbulent business environment presents many challenges to business professionals. One primary challenge is the ability to predict and plan for the future which is unexpectedly unpredictable. Changes are constant. Companies struggle constantly to find ways to manage resources and find ways to thrive and survive in this turbulent business environment. Traditional budgeting has been overtaken by these constantly changing events and is currently outdated and irrelevant for the following reasons:
- Too time-consuming
- Based on invalid assumptions
- Focuses on past events, not future possibilities
- Creates a "use it or lose it" mentality
- Restricts creative thinking in resource management
- Using Key Business Drivers & Cash to influence & impact the future
- Why Rolling Forecasts are critical in today’s turbulent environment
- Definition of Key Business Drivers as the basis for rolling forecasts
- The relevance of cash as a Key Business Driver
- The Five Core Components of Rolling Forecasts
- The use of technology in developing & implementing Rolling Forecasts
- Simple Techniques to make it happen
- Simple samples and exercises to reinforce teaching points
- Using “What if” analogies to validate forecasts
- Benefits of Rolling Forecasts

- Selling the culture changes to make rolling forecasts acceptable
Rolling forecasts are the wave of the future. They are rapidly replacing traditional budgeting.
