Traditional Budgeting

Info Islands


The glue that binds strategic plans with financial resources is the budget.


The spreadsheet has been a wonderful tool for planning and budgeting but its days are numbered.

Focus BPM is a technology company but our emphasis is methodology… the methodology that best suits your organisation.

This philosophy provides our customers with one practical and innovative business performance management solution which leads to small manageable and incremental changes to the business process. Ultimately this leads to large gains in overall business performance


Our combination of methodology and technology allows our customers to identify:

  • which Products, Customers, Channels, and Initiatives add or destroy value for the business
  • how to migrate these wealth destroyers to profitability
  • Create budgets and forecasts to align strategy with operations plans

    It’s about adding value not technology.

    Business Performance Management (BPM)

    BPM is a combination of both technology and methodology which helps organizations align strategic plans with day to day operations.  

    Business Performance Management is a simple process:

                …create the vision

                            …..create the plan

                                        ….translate into operational tactics or initiatives

                                                    …..translate into financial measures

    …the glue that links the strategic plan and financial resources is the traditional budget…the spreadsheet based budget…and this is where the problem begins.
