Where does the effort go?
Where does your team spend the most effort?
Is it collecting inputs from across the business? Keeping track of changes and approvals? Or preparing a new scenario when management needs one?
Your answers will help you identify the part of planning that needs your attention most.
-
Most of the cycle goes into gathering and reconciling numbers before any analysis starts.

-
By the time the answer is ready, the decision has often been made.
