CFOEd ANALYTICS: NO NEED TO REINVENT THE WHEEL

Once you've identified opportunities for enhancing performance, it's time to conduct a preliminary analysis of a solution's financial benefits. CFOEd shares his personal favorite Analytics, providing a framework for quickly translating a solution's impact into financial measurements. And since positive changes in one area of an enterprise often negatively impact other areas, this detailed operational analysis assures that all aspects of costs, assets and revenue are considered.

Ed's Analytics module supplies dozens of Microsoft Excel templates for analyzing solutions involving better management of:

• Revenue
• Operating Expenses
• Assets and Liabilities

These analytics provide an enterprise-wide perspective often lacking in many home-grown models. Unfortunately, much financial analysis is incomplete since it is not conducted from an enterprise-wide perspective. For example, decisions like modes of transportation, sourcing and replenishment are often based solely on operating expenses - and many times not even total operating expenses - and omit the impact on inventory, warehousing requirements and possible stock-out losses. Such analysis typically leads to non-optimal (and at times wrong) decisions. How often have your overall resources been strained as a result of a decision that only improved a single department's performance?

CFOEd also provides a step-by-step Application Presentation showing you how to successfully apply the Analytics.
