1 CPE (1 technical)

Too often, organizations become trapped in an operating budget developed for an expected future that never happens. When reality strikes and uncertainty unravels all those hours spent negotiating targets, what's your next step? These challenges became reality for most organizations in 2020 as COVID-19 broke the budgeting process. And unfortunately, 2021 looks just as uncertain.

Find out how to develop more effective budgeting processes that are more in line with modern-day realities and better able to respond to unexpected shifts. Gain clarity on how current budgeting practices -- which are rooted in concepts from the 1920s -- are broken for today's business world. Learn from the examples of leading-edge companies that have implemented new, better ways to plan in the 21st century.

This webinar features live instruction from top-rated speaker Steve Player.
