Thomas BartschVice President Business ConsultingE2open | INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP HOSTED BY KINAXIS The Myth of the One-Number Plan

For some time, there has been a movement to drive the entire organisation from a single operating number, usually the budget. In theory that is a good thing, as long as you have the right number. The budget is what the company wants or wishes to happen; very seldom is it what is going to happen. For that matter, so is the sales forecast. Learn how range planning can reduce risks and breed a more profitable operation by working on the premise that being ‘roughly right’ is far better than being ‘precisely wrong’.
