Summary

Many companies are using rolling forecasts, but some have not yet made this leap. Why not? What are the benefits of implementing a rolling forecast system? How can you do it successfully, and what should be avoided? Tune in to hear from the experts: those who’ve implemented it and can provide you with the necessary insights.

    In this event you will also hear:
  • how you can keep your plans up-to-date through the use of rolling forecasts
  • best practices, such as: the use of key drivers, looking forward for a consistent timeframe, and use of multiple scenarios
  • what to avoid, such as: linking forecasts to performance evaluations or compensation plans, only forecasting to the period end, and including excessive detail

Join presenters Steve Player, Program Director, Beyond Budgeting Round Table (BBRT), a guru in the field of rolling forecasts, along with Charlie Rowland Jr. Senior Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer, and Paul Stylianou, Senior Director, Planning & Decision Support, both from Biovail Corporation.
