End of Year for UK PLC

29/03/22 Simon Hunter

As we draw ever so close to another financial year end for UK PLC. There is no better time to reflect  on how your business did from the first cut of the budget and business plan, to your final year end results.

However, ………. and crucially, how suitable did you find your planning and forecasting capability in your businesses? The ability to adapt to what has been one of the most volatile past few years in a generation?

With forecasts and plans having to be flexed and adjusted on what felt like a daily basis, with so much political and macro factors affecting businesses. Are those systems and processes as finely tuned as they can be? There is no time for wasting time on number crunching and dragging information from a variety of different sources. Business needs instant answers based on multiple scenarios. They need a platform for the future. Something future proofed. Something you can start small with and incrementally add to.

Remember when your budget used to have a simple excel sheet that would uplift and flex your plan? A one line annualised 3% inflation uplift across all your OPEX costs? Wow, how different the world is today. Its not just inflation that swings wildly from commodity to commodity and service to service, it’s the cost of fuel, heating, rates, taxes. The supply chain disruption, government policy that changes daily.
