Planning does not have to be painful:

An area often neglected by business is the planning & budgeting cycle. Often characterised by "cost plus" or incremental increases based on flimsy evidence, getting the planning & budgeting processes right can pay dividends when it comes to predicting business performance.

The annual planning & budgeting process is often perceived to be a painful experience involving spreadsheets, time and little by way of feedback except that the numbers were not the ones that the management wanted to see. As a result, planning is often not taken seriously and ends up being an exercise in incremental budgeting (last year plus, say, 10%) or reverse engineering from the numbers that everyone expected to see. Planning starts with Strategy and works down through the firm in the form of budgets, targets and goals - both financial and non-financial. e-mel can help your organisation with planning from strategy to operations without massive bureaucracy or loss of relevance.
