Leading
Indicators Serve as an Early Warning
Do you have leading indicators in place? You should.
They can serve as an early warning system for your board, executives,
and management team, says CPM expert Bob Paladino. In this Big Fat Finance Blog posting,
Paladino explains how an IT firm can use four categories of leading
indicators to forecast its pipeline in four stages and predict booked
and earned revenue over the next 12 to 36 months.

Get
Your Money's Worth From Incentives
In this economic downturn, few issues have been shoved
into the spotlight as forcefully as incentive compensation:
performance-based bonuses, incentive plans, and perks. Massive payouts
at the executive level have garnered most of the attention, but
incentive payments to non-executives dwarf these awards. While business
performance management (BPM) may not be the panacea for problems like
these, it can help organizations to improve the effectiveness of their
incentive programs.

How
Well Does Your Forecast Work?
Companies cannot control the future any more than
people can control a hurricane. What they can do, however, is closely
monitor conditions so they can be better prepared for the storm when it
does strike. Forecasting in business works the same way. The idea is to
protect or invest assets to achieve the best possible outcomes given the
economic weather.

CPM in
the Clouds
This spring has seen corporate performance management
(CPM) move squarely into the cloud. According to an April Gartner
report, the market for CPM continues to grow, primarily because
spreadsheets for CPM are being replaced with products that have built-in
analytics. One of the fastest growing areas is SaaS CPM solutions, which
allow fast implementations with low investment and with less of a need
for IT infrastructure.
