One of our members from Lifeplus completed the Capacity Planning, Budgeting & Forecasting box set these are the headline takeaways:

- Increase Operational effectiveness - As a team, we have vastly increased our communication channels

- Improve and manage the flow of your data cycle and version control

- Long Term: Financial and Budget Planning – Operational: Drives capacity, scenario planning, and risk

- In the middle of a transformation/plan, the challenges are still there, and targets not being met --> this must lead to evolving the approach to capacity and demand

- Improve the quality of the data, focussing on what/why/how, determine what happened to the customer base

- Demonstrating Value and ROI – benefits achieved, costs avoided, risks avoided
