Strategic Planning
Intellicore powered Oracle EPM cloud solution helps organizations to optimize and synchronize their strategic and operational planning processes i.e. from developing a long-range strategic plan, modelling different scenarios and strategic initiatives, such as M&A and divestitures, to developing the annual plan. It is a complete solution framework for modelling the uncertainty in the business. It also empowers organizations to determine the optimal capital structure and prepare them to efficiently answer the question “What-if”?
Strategic modelling activities entails areas such as
- Long Term Plan: Long Range Plans, Strategy Screening, Targets for Business Units
- What-if Analysis: Scenario Analysis, Modelling for Uncertainty, Investor Relations
- Corporate Finance: Mergers & Acquisitions, Divestitures, Investment Analysis
- Treasury Initiatives: Covenant forecasts, Rating Agency Reports, Funding Alternatives
How well you can answer the question of what-if
- Don’t get too detailed in a single model (reduces the effectiveness of what-if)
- Engage the broader organization (include Business Units or not)
- “Always-on strategy” (monthly strategy reviews based on Forecast)
- Constantly reinvent and stimulate the strategic dialogue (revisit model assumptions)
