Rolling Forecast SeminarDate: Oct 26th 2011, 08:30Location: State Library of NSW, Macquarie Street, SydneyEvents in the past three years have illustrated just how quickly global markets can change, and therefore how critical it is to have a regular profit and cash re-forecast.

But it can be done - keynote speaker, Richard Burton, Head of Performance Management at Westpac Banking Corporation will present how Westpac and Challenger Financial Services Group have broken the shackles of the traditional annual budget process to re-forecast every month using detailed business drivers, and the benefits and flexibility this has delivered for all their stakeholders. Steve Bows, Services Director at Cornerstone and author of ‘Budgeting, Planning and Forecasting to the Max’ will also provide practical tips and tricks for those about to embark on the rolling forecast journey.

Business Analytics for the Mid Market - FREE Breakfast Briefing SessionDate: Sep 21st 2011, 09:00Location: Level 1, 50 Clarence St, Sydney
Most organisations have an incredible amount of data living in siloed transaction based, distributed systems and databases. A properly designed and implemented Business Analytics solution can quickly deliver a high return on investment (ROI), be easily integrated with existing systems and require low on-going maintenance. In turn lowering the TCO of the solution and delivering results quickly to the organisation. In this briefing you will learn how you can deliver a platform to allow your organisation : • The ability to view data from multiple sources in a single view, such as seeing sales information correlated with shipping expenses and facility utility bills. • The ability to quickly see summaries of data from different places—such as the total payroll spent, along with the total sales, for a given time period. • The ability to see data over time, comparing data from yesterday, last month, the past three quarters of the past 5 years, to see how things have changed over time. • The ability to ask “what if” questions and have answers generated based on historical data; for example, you might want to know if raising sales by 10% for a sustained period of time will necessitate a raise in utility costs or payroll expenses.
