Set performance targets, align resource plans and forecast business results to meet or beat expectations. Define, understand and lead your company's decision-making for better performance management.

Where was performance strong or weak? Drill-down variance: What causes changes in financial performance? Operational plan variance: How do we best support, coordinate and manage the delivery of meaningful plans? Cash flow and working capital: How do we manage working capital, collect accounts receivables and monitor cash use effectively? Balance sheet: How do we balance and structure the financial funding options, resources and risks of the business? Capital expenditure and strategic investments: What are the investment priorities and why? Treasury: How can we efficiently manage cash and liquidity requirements? 7
