Budgeting : The bane of managers“The budget is the bane of managers. It never should have existed.
A budget is this: if you make it, you generally get a pat on the back
and a few bucks. If you miss it, you get a stick in the eye or worse …
Making a budget is an exercise in minimisation. You’re always
getting the lowest out of people, because everyone is negotiating to
get the lowest number.”
Jack Welch, CEO, General Electric
The traditional budgeting process
6
… Around 85% of costs are designed in to a business using this approach.
… And performance is controlled against such a budget throughout the year.

Better Planning, Budgeting, Reporting1. Share the Vision – Scorecard/Dashboard Goals, KPIs & Initiatives.
2. Use Drivers – Define Core Process Outputs, Enable Rolling Forecasting.
3. Focus – Vary approach to suit e.g. ZBB, ABB, PBB, League Tables, Exec Review,
Discretionary Spend, Shared Services, Project, Top-Down v. Bottom Up etc.
4. Collaboration – Enable people to work (flow) together integrating strategic to
operational plans, budgets, forecasts and performance monitoring.
5. Visibility – Drill into formulae, variable origins, transactions, audit trail, service levels
6. Frequency – Enable frequent (re)forecasting; system integrated and statistically
automated & with key driver collaboration
7. What-If – Enable simple to complex scenario planning
8. Incentivise – Provide financial and non-financial incentives for KPI attainment
9. Technology – Enable integration to GL and other source systems, workflow, auto-
consolidation, real-time reporting to actual, self-service, alerts etc. to drive the budget
and reporting cycles down from months to weeks and forecast in days or hours
10. Learn – BBRT, Vendor Case Studies, Workshops
