Lessons Learned Create a metrics based environment and align with forecasting and financial reporting and other monitoring tools. Implement processes to drive efficiency and effectiveness of planning and CPM. Strategic Planning is the most important part to having a solid plan. A budget is not a plan! Remember CPM including Planning is about DECISION MAKING. Finance should play a leadership role and drive involvement and collaboration across the organization. Accountability Culture What is rewarded is repeated! 16
