Integrated Business Planning for Local Government

Integrated Business Planning - the essential foundation for decision-making and reporting

English

Watch the webinar

With local governments typically responsible for delivering more than 150 individual services, an Integrated Business Planning and reporting approach provides the necessary framework for establishing priorities and the ability to link relevant information to operational functions and strategic plans.

Watch Mark Woodhouse, domain expert, and Flavio de Paula, industry expert, as they explore why councils are following an Integrated Business Planning approach to:

  • Create short- and long-term plans, with the ability to analyse the impact on the council, specific locations, and funding sources.
  • Monitor performance so that local governments can quickly adapt and respond to changes in community needs and the business environment.
  • Ensure alignment between strategic, financial, and operational goals
  • Link and understand the interdependencies between strategic, financial, and operational results.
