Business Intelligence and Budgeting That Is Actually Used

​

I work together with my partner Spry AB to help management teams and finance functions move from retrospective reporting to continuous Business Intelligence – where budgeting, forecasting and follow-up are fully integrated.

​

Common challenges we encounter

​

• Budgets that are prepared once a year but not used in day-to-day management

• Forecasts that are time-consuming and quickly become outdated

• Reporting that shows what happened – but not what is happening

• Management and operations lacking a shared language around the numbers

• Excel is a powerful tool in many ways, but it also introduces risk

​​

How we work with Business Intelligence and Budgeting

​

Our focus is on simple, robust models where budget, forecast and actuals are connected and usable in everyday operations – not only at reporting time.

​

1. Budget & forecasting

• Budget and forecasting models in Spryard Planning

• Rolling forecasts​

• Scenario and sensitivity analyses

​​

2. Follow-up & analysis

​

• Reporting and analysis in Power BI

• Clear KPIs linked to the business

• Drill-down from group level to detailed views

​​

3. Decision support in practice

​

• Executive support ahead of key decisions

• Support during growth, transformation and efficiency initiatives

• Models that the organization understands and accepts

​​

When is this the right fit for you?

​

• When you want better control without building heavy BI projects

• When finance and operations need to work towards the same goals

• When you need decision support that can be quickly adjusted as conditions change
