Disruption is nothing new, but the pace at which finance leaders must reevaluate and change course is increasing dramatically, and altering budgeting and forecasting processes forever. Traditional approaches relying on interpretation and extrapolation of past performance are not appropriate for an environment rife with disruption, complexity, and uncertainty. 

Organizations must now build an infrastructure for future-ready performance. Accomplishing this requires brief looks at history, current state insight, and frequent and continuous evaluations of future possibilities. Planning must be situational and continuous, rather than only calendar-driven. Given the line of sight and business partnership with leaders across the business, finance sits at the epicenter of this dramatic shift.
