Profitability

Forecast

Forecast Reporting

Revised Forecast

Rolling Forecast

Based on all things we learned in the previous chapters we can create or modify the financial forecast which is an estimate of future financial outcomes for a company.

Build Data Action

Data Actions

Add a Driver

Create a Value Driver Tree

Value driver trees are a tool for budgeting, forecasting based on different scenarios, and making daily business decisions.  By linking different types of nodes together in a directed graph, value driver trees allow you to explore the relationship between drivers such as head count and average contract value and top line metrics such as gross revenue  For example, a simple value driver tree might show how changes in year over year (YOY) growth in sales across different accounts will impact overall sales revenue now, and in future years.  Therefore, a value driver tree can help align decision makers in different organizations or at different levels, focusing the business on a common overall goal.

Value Driver Tree
