Art of budgeting and forecasting in an uncertain economy.

The art of budgeting and forecasting becomes particularly challenging in an uncertain economy.

The forum will discuss at a high level:

• Amplify your business model with a focus on budgeting
• Identifying revenue and cost drivers and basing a forecast on these
• Flexibility and scenario planning in the forecasting process
• Importance of constant monitoring and review
• Risk management and contingency planning
• Agility and adaptability
• Long term strategic focus

The art of budgeting and forecasting in an uncertain economy requires the application of several principles:

• a flexible and adaptive approach,
• rigorous analysis of assumptions and risks,
• regular monitoring and review,
• effective risk management,
• collaboration and communication, and
• a blend of short-term adjustments with long-term strategic focus.

By embracing these principles, businesses can navigate through uncertainty with greater resilience and make informed decisions to drive success.
