Introduction Landscape/History Planning and Reporting Inputs Planning Reporting There is no finish line Q&A

35

Key Successes

Target setting / scenario planning that provides:


Transparency of assumptions Version management & control Limited IT dependence (quick turn-around for those ad-hoc urgent requests)

Distributed model development allowing users to take advantage of capabilities of Cognos Planning Instant consolidation of inputs & workflow mgmt Minimal, if any, training required for Contributors

36

Change is needed now because

Our current planning processes are not integrated across business planning timelines (seasons) Our current planning processes are inefficient, inaccurate and not timely Planning the business through a globally defined category view in addition to a geographic and product engine view increases the number of dimensionsthis cannot be supported by current processes and technologies

37

We will eliminate redundancies and inefficiencies by changing the timing

From separate timelines


across Finance and the Category Game Plan

. . . to integrated timelines

and both the frequency and level of detail in our financial forecast processes
