A digital approach to zero-based budgeting
Zero-based budgeting (ZBB) is an approach to achieving sustainable cost management by developing a bottom-up budget directly aligned with the organization’s strategic objectives. In theory, this forces decision makers to continuously look at the organization’s resource allocations with fresh eyes, free from the limitations of past assumptions.
How well does this theory translate into practice? In this webcast, we’ll discuss:
- How to determine if your organization is a good candidate for ZBB, where to start, and how to promote organizational acceptance and avoid technology challenges
- Why a digital approach to ZBB can make the process faster, easier, and more effective
- How Deloitte’s Anaplan-based “ZBB-in-a-box” solution can be deployed to quickly identify, deliver, and sustain cost savings
