In a performance management context, planning is a vital part of establishing how resources will be allocated, for optimal effect, around the organization.

Usually, this starts with a high-level, long-term plan, identifying key corporate goals and how they can be achieved. This strategic plan will naturally include a summary of the financial figures supporting the plan, often expressed in several versions, to describe the impact of different scenarios.

The business climate is characterized by change and compounded by global influences generating random stresses and squeezed margins. Planning, budgeting, and forecasting lay the foundation for any effective business plan. But economic uncertainty makes it difficult to set clear goals and objectives and sustain a financial plan which supports them.

Organizations must become more agile with their planning, budgeting and forecasting capabilities, now more critical than ever for success and survival during volatile economic times.
