Benefiting from Making Strategy Mandatory
September 2, 2005 - Financial and management reporting by public companies has evolved rapidly over the last five years, driven by the needs to re-establish public trust and to harmonize requirements worldwide. Starting this year, U.K. public companies face far more stringent Operating and Financial Review (OFR) requirements. Implementation of the requirements may force companies to set out their strategy explicitly and develop a detailed plan how management intends to implement it. Or it may not, depending on how strict enforcement proves to be. In either case, Ventana Research believes most companies would benefit from expanding and formalizing their strategy-plan-budget-review cycle. Abandoning the traditional spreadsheet-based budgeting processes and adopting a dedicated planning application makes both compliance and strategic planning and reporting much easier to do.
