Agility increases results by 30% on average
Prioritizing, allocating financial resources, scheduling and staffing, are crucial to ensure that strategic goals and plans are implemented on time, progress in the desired direction, with the desired results and within given budget frameworks.
But resource allocation is not a one time decision, it requires ongoing adjustment.
According to a study by McKinsey, organizations that actively reallocated investments across units and initiatives, achieved an average return 30% higher than the average return of organizations that were slow to shift funds.
Companies that actively redistribute funds deliver an average 10% return to their shareholders, compared to 6% for those who are slower in their redistribution. This means that companies that actively reallocate resources will be worth twice as much within 20 years compared to less agile competitors. (McKinsey Special Collection Resource allocation and Corporate Finance Practice April 2017)
Despite this, less than a third of all managers believe their organizations are reallocating resources quickly enough to be effective!
Do you still manage budget and forecast processes with manual Excel templates?
Despite the growing need for agile resource allocation processes, Excel is still today, by far, the most common solution for budget and forecasting work, as most financial planning systems are not connected to day-to-day operations and cannot be used by all managers and team members.
Excel is a powerful tool, but processes are often manual and time-consuming. It is easy to make simple calculation errors. Real-time consolidation, collaboration and overview is complicated. The connection to strategic and operational goals is difficult to clarify. Decision support is slower, less qualitative and less relevant than it needs to be.
In Cleerit you work as easily and flexibly as in Excel, but with powerful multidimensional digital support for your budget and forecasting processes. And you can always download all data to Excel if needed.
