What can organisations do when priorities are continually changing and budgets are short term?
Active financial planning enables them to gain data-driven insights into multiple scenarios and their potential impact, while agile financial management helps shift the focus towards effective resourcing improvements for frontline delivery.
Rob Douglas, regional sales director, planning, at Workday and Edward Bass, regional finance lead at Workday, lead the conversation on how organisations can become more efficient and effective while driving improvements in the public services they deliver.
- Managing resources during uncertainty to deliver frontline services and increase overall fiscal and workforce visibility and accountability;
- Process automation for efficiency;
- Driving collaboration and visibility while managing short term budgets.
