Your FP&A team made it through another budget cycle; time to relax and close Adaptive until the next budget season… right? Let’s hope not. While it’s quite an accomplishment to finalize the budget, now is the perfect time to reflect, optimize and adjust before the pressures of the next budget cycle are upon you. The weeks right after budget season are actually the best time to improve your planning process. Why? Because the pain points are still fresh, the workarounds are obvious and your team finally has breathing room to fix what didn’t work. This is the ideal window for Workday Adaptive Planning optimization. Take this opportunity to review areas for improvement within the budget process, work with your team to determine what enhancements can be implemented and allow adequate time to test and configure changes before the next budget season.
