Corporate performance management (CPM), coupled with technology, can help you in these performance areas:
- You need a common language that defines your business and you need to communicate them through your organization.
- You need cross departmental measurements that include historical results, and future returns, to understand the key indicators and trends. You can then adjust your course of action as necessary.
- You are overwhelmed by data, but lack actionable information. You find it difficult to discern what’s relevant and distribute this information in a meaningful manner.
- Your planning systems are disconnected and bulky. You need to integrate separate planning systems across departments.
We provide consulting services for the following IBM Cognos tools
Planning and Forecasting (Cognos Planning and Cognos TM1)
Eliminate problems such as:
- Planning and consolidation is rigid and lengthy, with negligible results.
- Planning and consolidation is done by Finance with out departmental feedback, reducing buy-in.
- Performance targets are best-guess rather than predictable, leading to a multitude of problems with the market and shareholders.
Scorecarding and Dashboards
Eliminate problems such as:
- You can’t communicate and distribute responsibility for your strategy as effectively as you want.
- It’s difficult for people to know where action is needed the most. For example, customer profitability is the boardroom goal but your metrics are based on total revenue.
- You base performance metrics on what can be measured, rather than what the strategy says you must accomplish
Business Intelligence
Eliminate problems such as:
- You can’t make the best decisions to drive higher performance because you don't understand the Why behind results.
- Meetings bog down in multiple versions and interpretations of the truth.
- Reports arrive too late for action; have too much data and not enough actionable information; tell inconsistent stories about your business. Analyzing performance on key business drivers is near impossible.
