Rolling Forecasts: Optimizing Costs and Profits with a Market-Focused Approach

When:  Apr 8, 2025 from 01:00 PM to 05:00 PM (ET)

When rolling forecasts are “fully integrated” with operations, what results are “market-focused” processes that enable dynamic cost, profit and value optimization – a state of maturity where inventories, resources and cost structures quickly self-adjust to changes in customer service levels, demand volumes and mix, to deliver targets for [enterprise and segment] profits, cash flows, and working capital.  These processes provide the foundation for effective Finance Transformation.

As complexity rises, achieving such processes becomes increasingly difficult.  Primarily because legacy solutions rarely support them.  What’s new are the process and technology innovations that do.  They enable step change improvements to cost and profitability management, direct cash flow forecasting and scenario planning, along with effective use of prescriptive analytics.  By attending this webinar, you’ll learn about these innovations and the incremental capabilities and sources of value that they provide.
