Webinar Held on the Theme: "For Mid-sized to Large Enterprises: Unable to Test Scenarios Necessary for Budget Management and Decision-Making in Excel"
This webinar introduces Workday Adaptive Planning, a cloud-based management solution, to address the limitations of Excel-based budget management in mid-sized to large enterprises. It highlights the importance of rolling forecasts and real-time decision-making, showcasing how Workday Adaptive Planning's advanced simulation and AI functions enable rapid scenario analysis and course correction for improved financial planning and risk management.

■ Importance of Rolling Forecasts
Market conditions, personnel costs, raw material costs, and other fluctuations are becoming increasingly intense year by year, requiring rapid course correction from management planning and finance departments. However, in many companies, course corrections are made on a semi-annual basis, or at best quarterly, leading to delays in management decisions. In modern times, it is crucial to have a budget management system that can quickly calculate multiple scenarios and lead to decision-making, assuming constant change.
■ Limitations of Excel-based Budget Management
Excel-centric budget management often fails to provide sufficient simulations quickly when needed, mainly due to: ① input errors and verification errors, ② reliance on specific individuals (due to complex formulas and macros), ③ lack of real-time source data, ④ unstable performance (too slow), and ⑤ complex access control management. Furthermore, companies with global operations face the risk of not being able to immediately verify exchange rate fluctuation risks, which can lead to missed opportunities.
■ Real-time Management Achieved with "Advanced Simulation Function" x "AI Function"
In this seminar, we will introduce Workday Adaptive Planning, the world's No. 1 leader product adopted by 6,500 companies, with actual screen demonstrations.
Workday Adaptive Planning is a cloud-based management solution that integrates budget, forecast, scenario analysis, and performance management on a single platform. Data can be imported and immediately visualized in reports and dashboards.
It also allows for instant creation and comparison of multiple scenarios with its unlimited version control function. For example, the impact of changes in assumptions such as "if sales decrease by 10%", "if raw material costs increase", or "if exchange rates fluctuate" (supporting over 100 currencies) can be calculated immediately. Furthermore, it supports rapid course correction with an AI-powered automatic future data prediction function and an anomaly detection function that identifies unnatural values. The seminar will explain how to achieve budget and management that can respond quickly to changes, balancing the accuracy and speed of simulation operations.
■ Recommended for:
- Those in management planning and finance departments of large enterprises who feel the limitations of Excel or other budget management systems.
- Those who are concerned about delays in management decisions due to time-consuming data updates and aggregation.
- Those who struggle with inter-departmental coordination because personnel plans and multiple scenarios cannot be managed centrally.
- Companies with global operations that need to respond to currency fluctuation risks.
