What Drives Inventory Effectiveness in a Market-Driven World? Summary ChartsLora Cecere
Survey Details: The research for this report was conducted from February 12 – October 8, 2015. Surveys were conducted among Manufacturers, Retailers, and Wholesalers/Distributors/Co-operatives with $250M+ in revenue and who use (and are familiar with) inventory optimization software (n=64). Respondents were evenly split between those using basic (ERP or ERP+APS) and advanced (software in addition to ERP/APS) software. All surveys were conducted by Supply Chain Insights.
Objective: To understand the impact of inventory optimization software on supply chain excellence. NOTE: inventory optimization software was defined as “any form of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), APS (Advanced Planned Software), or sophisticated inventory planning tools.”
Highlight: Companies who use advanced software are more likely to be satisfied with their software, to be effective at making inventory decisions and to drive a return on investment for their software.

Deliver More Impact with Data Informed Decisions webinar Salesforce.org
What impact are you having? Which programs are working? Is your organization using your resources effectively? Measuring results is a key aspect of delivering better programs and services. However, many organizations are still using spreadsheets and disconnected databases to collect this data, and therefore, have trouble quantifying their impact. Join us to hear how two organizations, The Cara Program and Springboard Collaborative, are leveraging Salesforce to track their program data and understand their results. The Cara Program, a Chicago human services agency, uses Salesforce for case management for their workforce development programs. Springboard Collaborative uses Salesforce to track their students results for their program that seeks to narrow the literacy achievement gap in low income communities. You'll hear about how each organization decided on Salesforce, learn about the successes and challenges they've had through implementation, and see a demo of their Salesforce solutions.

Best Practices for Enterprise Performance ManagementPerficient, Inc.
A special webinar for Finance professionals
Looking forward to budget season? For many managers, the budget process is a painful, manual process driven by disconnected Excel spreadsheets that are error-prone, static, and generally non-collaborative. The result is a budget that becomes irrelevant as soon as the new fiscal year begins.
A more nimble response is needed. Budgeting and planning should be a continuous, flexible exercise based on rolling forecasts, and supported by systems that can adapt as the business climate changes.
Join us as we discuss how applying best practices and using an automated Enterprise Performance Management system can help intelligent enterprises reap the benefits of flexible budgeting, accurate forecasting and dynamic planning. By implementing best practices for budgeting and planning, you can:
- Make the budget process less painful
- Replace spreadsheets with web forms
- Automate the budget roll-up process
- Create budgets based on key business drivers
- Link strategic goals to operational decisions
- Integrate financial “actuals” with budget and forecast data
- Provide easy, real-time variance reporting
- Access a single version of the truth for financial information
Presenter Emil Fernandez is General Manager of Perficient's national Enterprise Performance Management practice.

Effective workforce planning can be difficult because of the challenges associated with determining overall headcount. Decision makers need greater insight into resource demands and costs associated with personnel planning. A strategic workforce plan will help your organization avoid under-staffing, over-staffing, or misallocating employees, which can severely halt growth.
Ken Fick, of Pierce The Fog, will discuss how many high-performance organizations manage to conduct workforce planning to ensure agility and success effectively. He will explain how their approach can be broken down into several strategies that will help you gain an edge over competitors and increase revenue for your organization.
Learning Objectives
After this webinar, you will be able to:
1. Discuss ways to forecast attrition and workforce demand planning.
2. Describe how to leverage workforce planning scenarios.
3. Develop a workforce plan to gain a productive advantage.
4. Give examples of how to reduce the impact of workforce fluctuations on strategic, operating, and financial plans.
Like any good finance professional, you understand that budgeting is the lifeblood of any company and there are times when by the time the budget is complete, it’s already stale.
Changing the process can feel like a daunting task, it seems easier to keep doing what you’re doing. The good news is: there’s an easier way to budget.

Improved Analysis
Feeding America produces analytics showing:
• Financial trends
• Year-to-date against plan
• Average expense per headcount
• Average revenue generated per headcount
Helps to track performance and better manage resources:
• In 2014, Feeding America had a large surplus
– If this happened again, donors could misperceive this as Feeding America
mismanaging investments (and donate less)
Enables Feeding America to identify where donor dollars go:
• Tracking and showing donors how donations led to a specific
number of meals served or pounds of food/produce delivered

Data-Driven Decision Making
Feeding America’s executives use planning
information to make/justify their decisions
‘WHAT IF’ ANALYSIS ANSWERS QUESTIONS LIKE…
• What do we have to invest to get the results we want?
• Which channels (e.g., retail, manufacturing, produce) have
the best opportunity to secure inventory to distribute to the
food banks?
• Where can we best invest our money?
• How do we obtain the highest ROI for our fundraising?
– Conduct scenario planning for various outcomes
– This is the key to the financial forecast and longer term
projections
