and practical actions – and their implementation is continuously monitored.

Revise EPM connects goals, planning, finance, operational metrics, and outcomes

into a cohesive management framework.

The value of strategy comes from execution

Strategy defines where the company wants to go. The role of management is to turn this direction into concrete goals, plans, and actions. The challenge easily arises when strategy, financial planning, and operational activities exist separately from each other.

Revise EPM helps combine goals, planning, outcomes, and metrics into a continuous management process.

✔ What should we do?

Connect goals to measurable actions

Strategic goals need metrics that can be used to track their achievement.

Metrics can relate to, for example:

✔ growth
✔ profitability
✔ sales
✔ customers
✔ effiency
✔ cash flow
✔ personnel

✔ sustainability

Turn goals into a financial plan

Strategy and economic planning go hand in hand. Growth, investments, staff, new markets, and other strategic choices affect the company's revenue, costs, profitability, balance sheet, and cash flow.

Look forward, not just backward

Actual reporting shows what has already happened in the company. Management also needs a constantly updated view of the future.

With these, management can consider four questions:
✔ Actuals - where are we?
✔ Budget - Where did we plan to go?
✔ Forecast - Where are we now heading?
✔ Trends - What do we need to do?

A business is not managed in a vacuum

The company's own data only tells part of the whole.

Customers, competitors, markets, technology, finance, legislation, and labor markets are changing. The company's own data only tells part of the whole. Customers, competitors, markets, technology, finance, legislation, and labor markets are constantly changing. 

Changes can affect the company's goals, plans, and forecasts. In strategic management, the company's own information must therefore be examined
in relation to the changing operating environment.
