“6 out of 10 CEOs say the greatest opportunity for a CFO to impact the value of

an organization is contributing to performance and growth.”-Forbes Insights


Most organizations still use spreadsheets

Desktop spreadsheets are the tools most commonly used.7 out of 10 midsize or larger companies use them across the range of 11 planning processes we examined, yet nearly half (48%) of participants said that spreadsheets make it difficult to manage planning processes.

The research also confirms that spreadsheets are error-prone. More than one-third (35%) of organizations routinely find errors in data, and one-fourth (26%) find errors in formulas. Finding and fixing errors is another reason why spreadsheets are time-consuming.

Microsoft Excel was originally released September 1985, now over 30 years old

“And changes are accelerating as businesses face a perfect storm of digital disruption, product fragmentation and shifting

customer expectations.

Finance leaders can no longer debate whether they need to adapt, but decide

how—and how quickly.”-PWC

Particularly as business transforms digitally


Planning: Definition

.... Planning is the process of thinking about and organizing the activities required to achieve a

desired goal. ..... Also, planning has a specific process and is necessary for multiple user groups(particularly in fields such as management, business, etc.). In each field there are different types ofplans that help companies achieve efficiency and effectiveness. An important aspect of planning is the

relationship it holds to forecasting. ..... Planning combines forecasting with

preparation of scenarios and how to react to them. Planning is one of the most importantproject management and time management techniques.....

A plan is like a map. When following a plan, he can always see how much he have progressed

towards his project goal and how far he is from his destination.Source: WIKIPEDIA
