Company strategy can be a fickle thing. As leaders, you’re charged with setting the direction of your organization and clarifying how you’re going to go about getting there. This leads to a lot of boardroom sessions, brainstorming, market research, and a carefully crafted plan that lays out how you’re going to achieve your stated objectives.
Company strategy can be a fickle thing. As leaders, you’re charged with setting the direction of your organization and clarifying how you’re going to go about getting there. This leads to a lot of boardroom sessions, brainstorming, market research, and a carefully crafted plan that lays out how you’re going to achieve your stated objectives.
But that’s the easy part.
Too often, that strategic thinking lives and dies in those boardrooms and doesn’t actually make its way to those on the ground. The message gets diluted, the incentives get blurred, and without realizing it – you find that everyone is pulling in different directions. Your strategic direction isn’t actually informing how your company is operating. There’s a strategic mismatch.
Typically, this mismatch happens because there isn’t alignment between the strategic imperatives and the actual performance management in all your various silos. No matter how many times you re-iterate a company mission or vision statement, the truth is that people follow incentives. As such, when your financial planning, measurement, and remuneration are not directly linked to what you’re trying to achieve strategically, you find that the wires get crossed.
This makes it incredibly difficult to make progress on long-term goals, or even to understand how your strategy is performing in the marketplace. As a result, you’re left with no clarity as to what’s working, what isn’t, and what can be changed to alter the direction.
It renders a lot of the hard work irrelevant and doesn’t allow for true strategic maneuvering.

A few words on our recent data experiment with Gran Turismo 7 and how it demonstrates just how powerful Planning Analytics becomes with Apliqo UX.
Accurate forecasting is a severely underrated skill in modern business and one that you should be looking to improve if you want to maximize the value of your planning and analytics. But the only way to do this is to have a feedback loop where you can look back on the forecast methodologies that you used in the past and assess how they fared when coming up against the uncertainties of the real world.
It’s for this reason, that a forecast post-mortem can be such an eye-opening component of your FP&A journey.
Your financial planning and analytics workflows involve various tools and software that each have their own steep learning curves.
