The annual budgeting process is a trap. Pressured by fixed
targets and performance incentives, managers focus on making the
numbers instead of making a difference, meeting set goals instead
of maximizing potential. With their compensation at stake, managers
often resort to deceitful-even unethical-behavior. In the end,
everybody loses-the employee, the company, and ultimately the
customer.Now, finance experts Jeremy Hope and Robin Fraser reveal
the results of an intensive study aimed at fixing the broken
budgeting process. They argue that companies must abandon
traditional budgeting contracts in favor of a radical new model
that links performance measurement to evolving competitive
benchmarks-and shifts the firm''s focus from controlling employee
behavior to delivering customer value. The Beyond Budgeting model
is built on the best practices of companies that have successfully
revised their centralized planning and budgeting processes. It
combines a leadership vision that devolves more authority to
operating managers and a finance vision that enables fast decision
making through appropriate tools and accessible information.
Through vivid examples, Hope and Fraser illustrate how companies
can implement these shared visions-and the long-term benefits that
accrue from embracing them. Offering a compelling case for breaking
free from the budgeting trap, this book paves the way toward making
organizations better places to work for, invest in, and do business
with.
