    Budgeting, Forecasting & Scenario Planning

    Financial planning and predictive analytics

    How do leaders improve forecast accuracy?

    Pair driver‑based plans with historical unit trends and elasticity. For cloud, apply FinOps forecasting practices (tag hygiene, commitment curves), and anomaly management. Institutionalize scenario modeling (e.g., AI demand shock, vendor renewals, data‑egress policy).

    What are typical RTB/CtB investment guardrails?

    Track and publish RTB vs. CtB quarterly; mature TBM programs use this KPI to systematically free CtB funds as run costs are optimized.
