How do you manage the change and culture shift required for adopting rolling forecast?

In my experience there are some key reasons: 1. Increased agility and responsiveness to change: In today's fast-changing business landscape, assuming the next 12 months will resemble the last is unrealistic. A rolling forecast enables course corrections based on new market conditions. 2. Improved accuracy of projections: By updating projections monthly or quarterly based on latest results, rolling forecasts are more accurate than relying on old assumptions. Resources can be allocated more precisely. 3. Aligns planning with strategic objectives: Annual budgets often become detached from strategy. Rolling forecasts link financial plans directly to strategic goals regularly, ensuring activities drive outcomes.

Previs?es contínuas e revisadas mensalmente, permitem maior maturidade na cultura or?amentária. Maior cultura or?amentária permitem mais assertividade nas proje??es. Cada revis?o permite ajustes nas premissas, índices e formula??es contábeis e financeiras. Históricos desses ajustes s?o facilidades para as previs?es or?amentárias posteriores.

Switching to a rolling forecast allows for more flexibility and responsiveness in financial planning. It enables organizations to continuously update their forecasts based on the latest data, helping them stay aligned with market conditions and strategic goals.

Sometimes, rolling forecast based on assumptions became inaccurate due to: 1. Lake of experience for the area, culture and traditional habits, holidays, seasons and focus areas. 2. Long duration period for the assumptions which may be affected by circumestances. 3. We don't use the accurate data and the right tools like CRM, SAP or Powerbi to axtract and analyze. 4. The lake between the tools and insite teams to update the data periodically and accurate. 5. To contribute the right persons (ALL) and find the full vision of the right assumptions. 6. Agility and responsiveness of team and delivering the clear goals, vision and strategies.

As with all things in life, there are trade-offs. What is the purpose of the forecast? Budgeting season for large organisations can produce as many bad outcomes as good in my experience - bad behaviour driven by bad incentives eg: spending budget so you don't lose it for next year. So rolling forecasts if properly focussed can be beneficial as the end of year panic, budget season rash decision making is mitigated somewhat. The other problem with budgeting and reforecasting the rears its head. Time and resource constraints. Hiring a whole accounting finance team to keep reforecasting the future is not efficient - at least in many organisations. IF you can get the balance right and implement an efficient process then there are gains to be had

In my experience here are some key ways to help prepare an organization for the change: 1. Provide hands-on training and support for key teams like finance and operations who will develop and utilize the rolling forecasts. 2. Start with a pilot of rolling forecasts in one business unit or region to demonstrate value and gather lessons learned before company-wide implementation. 3. Develop a change management plan to educate stakeholders on rolling forecast benefits and guide them through the transition. Address doubts head on.

Acredito que a melhor forma de se preparar para mudan?as seja construindo a mudan?a juntamente com seu pessoal da base. é importante entender qual a dificuldade operacional em realizar uma tarefa que é um fator crítico de sucesso de sua organiza??o. N?o basta apenas o indicador mostrar as lacunas abertas, é necessário implantar solu??es que proporcione à opera??o a condi??o necessária para execu??o e consequente eficiência. Isso é planejar o futuro. é necessário também manter o foco, sempre priorizando as a??es que gerem maior impacto nos diversos fatores críticos de sucesso de sua organiza??o.

Start by building a clear case for the transition, highlighting the limitations of traditional forecasting. Secure buy-in from leadership and stakeholders, and create a detailed plan that outlines the steps and resources needed for a smooth transition.

Ehrlich sein: wir werden manchmal richtig mit Prognosen liegen und manchmal falsch. In einer Umgebung, die sich schnell ?ndert (wie die Gesch?ftswelt, in der wir leben und arbeiten), sollten wir lernen, mit Unsicherheit umzugehen.

In my experience: 1. you need always to train your team even by a weekly or monthly meetings, to increase their inspiration and innovation. 2. Always make the oraganization goals and targets in a crystal clear bulet points and easy to deliver. 3. Deliver your experience and don't afraid that somebody will take your roles, if you deliver the message the right way they will appreciate. Give your team the space to move, create their own method and take decisions under your supervision.

As a financial planner coach, here are some recommendations: 1. Provide formal training on the principles, objectives, and mechanics of rolling forecasts to build foundational knowledge. Use real examples and case studies. 2. Host knowledge sharing workshops for teams to discuss challenges and successes. Facilitates peer learning. 3. Assign mentors or coaches who are more experienced to provide guidance and feedback in real-time to team members. 4. Audit early rolling forecast drafts and provide constructive feedback to improve quality over time. 5. Track progress on adoption of new behaviors and capabilities with surveys and assessments.

Treinar no "calor da emo??o" ou seja: durante o processo é feita a capacita??o dos conceitos utilizados. Mostrar o processo e depois capacitar tem maior grau de aprendizado.

Provide comprehensive training to ensure your team understands the rolling forecast process and its benefits. Ongoing coaching helps them adapt to the new approach, ensuring they are confident and competent in its application.

Here are some suggestions that worked for me in the past: 1. Ensure leadership models the desired behaviors - being flexible, open to feedback, collaborating cross-functionally. This sets the tone at the top. 2. Phase out outdated traditions that reinforce fixed annual mindsets like year-end budget "use it or lose it" practices. 3. Provide training on agile principles and mindsets like openness, customer focus, and collaboration. This reshapes perspectives. 4. Encourage productive failure and learning. Do post-mortems on forecast inaccuracies to improve without blame. 5. Celebrate wins and quick course corrections driven by rolling forecast insights. This reinforces the value.

Eine positive Haltung gegenüber Fehlern entwickeln: Lernen aus Fehlern statt den Schuldigen suchen. Das gilt für jede Kulturentwicklung. Im Falle vom Planung ist es bestimmt sinnvoll, die Shareholders mit ins Boot zu holen. Die Shareholders erzeugen den Druck auf die Planungsprozesse - irgendwie - natürlich - mit Recht. Vielleicht sollte über Haltung und Werte nachgedacht werden.

I would argue that the culture is the essential first piece. For a start up / small business that is achievable because founders will can a significant influence. For larger corporations the task is harder. All change at that level can feel seismic. Forecasts are predictions and using quantitive tools can help, but ultimately they are always inaccurate up to some acceptable degree of confidence. Crafting communications for the organisation that build alignment built on understanding of the core mission and the importance of the collective effort to achieve it, whether rolling budgeting or any other change, to me is the foundation you need to build on.

This is an effective strategy that we implement: 1. Establish clear KPIs upfront that align to goals like accuracy, planning cycle time, forecast vs. actual variance. Track KPIs regularly. 2. Conduct ongoing surveys to capture feedback on pain points and areas for improvement. 3. Perform quarterly or semi-annual process reviews on the efficiency of rolling forecasts, identifying complexities or inefficiencies. 4. Correlate accuracy of forecasts with business outcomes like revenues, margins, and budget variances to identify strengths and gaps. 5. Compare rolling forecast results and metrics vs. previous annual budgeting approach. Quantify improvements.

Regularly assess the effectiveness of the rolling forecast by comparing its projections with actual results. Use these insights to refine the process, ensuring it continues to meet organizational needs and drive better financial outcomes.

Anticipate resistance and address it proactively through clear communication and engagement. Consider the technological tools that can support rolling forecasts and ensure that your data is accurate and up-to-date to maximize the effectiveness of this approach.
