Join BetterVu at CPA Canada's THE ONE Conference this September for insights on Effective Labor Planning.
Are your planning efforts focused on the right things? Labour represents or drives over 75% of costs for most services organizations and can have the largest impact on the ability to meet organizational goals. Planning for labour - the right level of headcount by role, at the right time and place - is a critical capability for effective performance management. In this session, you will learn how innovative organizations across a range of industries are dynamically planning for labour across a variety of staffing types: retail and customer service, call centres, and operations, with the goal of optimizing costs while meeting customer expectations and service level commitments, under multiple planning scenarios.
We're excited to lead this innovative, participatory webinar with CPA Canada:

A rolling forecast allows you, as a financial professional, to play a leading role in strategic discussions by providing management with a range of possibilities that are dependent on:
Seeing these possibilities before they occur is the first key step in being prepared for them, and allows management to make important decisions towards enterprise success.
This webinar will delve further into the topic and concepts learned in A Window to the Future: The Rolling Forecast, using a case study to demonstrate how to implement these factors by building a rolling forecast in our virtual classroom.
You will have the opportunity to apply the knowledge learned in the first part of this series and work with us in developing a forecast, using leading processes and technology
Rolling Forecasts: A Window to the Future
In today’s fast-paced and globally connected environment, the traditional fiscal year-end forecast is of minimal value. In contrast, a rolling forecast allows financial professionals to play a leading role in strategic discussions by providing management with a range of possibilities that are dependent on:
– market conditions
– operational decisions
– the actions of competitors
– potential risk events
This session will outline the key success factors and best practices with respect to implementing a rolling forecast.
A second webinar in workshop format uses a case study to explore these issues in greater detail.
Join Rob Torok for this webinar hosted by the Institute of Internal Auditors
The business world is becoming increasingly inter-connected in all respects including financially, physically, and virtually. Investors and executives await the daily, if not hourly, economic updates from around the world in the hope of making better decisions. Corporate supply chains have become not necessarily longer but certainly more complex, such that the brand name on the end product represents perhaps six tiers of suppliers. And the electronic age allows both information and threats to emerge at the stroke of a keyboard.
All of these facets of business life pose risks to organizations. The risk manager’s job is to provide the organization with an opportunity to see these challenges before they occur and position the enterprise to both respond and recover effectively and quickly. In turn, the role of the internal auditor is to support these initiatives through stringent documentation of processes and assurance that they are being followed; but the auditor can also hold a key role in the identification and management of the risks themselves
.Webinar Highlights
In order to effectively ‘sense and respond’ to potential events, risk managers and auditors must first anticipate what the key issues might be. This webinar will highlight what many expect to be five of the key areas of risk facing organizations in the immediate future and suggest approaches to respond to each. We will look at areas of risk including:
The world moves faster and the economy has become less predictable. In such an environment, companies are realizing that the traditional fiscal year-end forecast has become less useful. Only seeing through to the end of the year leaves the company exposed to threats, such as price changes, volatile stock markets, regulatory changes and currency fluctuations. For FP&A, an annual forecast provides no means of adding substantive value to the conversation taking place at the strategic level of the organization. In contrast, a rolling forecast allows FP&A professionals to play a leading role in strategic discussions and communications by providing management with a range of possibilities that are dependent on market conditions or the actions of competitors. Mitch Max joins a panel of experts to discuss techniques to meet success and avoid pitfalls in implementing a rolling forecast.
Often businesses struggle to accurately forecast future revenues across diverse customer or product types. Statistical models can help, but they don’t take into account the lifecycle patterns of growth, retention or depletion. Our research and experience shows that, for many business types, revenue and cost streams can be very accurately forecasted by modeling the patterns underlying the various customer or product types that supports revenue. While this type of modeling may have been challenging in the past, it’s now possible to do this in a clear and predictable way.
Mitch Max will lead this webinar.
