Zero Based Budgeting

Overview

Zero-based budgeting is not merely a short-term cost-cutting tactic, but a data-driven approach to strategically allocate resources and make informed decisions. To achieve maximum value, zero-based operations we customize it to fit the specific needs of an organization and embraced by all stakeholders. 

This includes identifying opportunities to optimize resource utilization and effectively allocating them to achieve the desired outcomes.

An Effective Approach Towards Zero-Based Budgeting

Digital zero-based budgeting (ZBB) is a highly effective approach for companies looking to optimize their budgeting process. We incorporate cognitive technologies by focusing on strategic drivers. 

• By using digital ZBB we accelerate the process and identify hidden opportunities. Additionally, attacking the problem from both ends - with a top-down and bottom-up perspective - can reduce the required level of detail and make ZBB easier to execute.
• We prioritise the areas of the business that will have the greatest impact on the overall strategy, companies can achieve more significant cost savings and avoid unnecessary changes that may disrupt operations. This approach helps us to reduce the change management challenge of ZBB by focusing on targeted improvements rather than sweeping changes across the entire organization.
• With ZBB's bottom-up approach with a top-down perspective we simplify the process and make it more manageable. We start with a high-level view of the budget and then drilling down into specific areas, companies can reduce the level of detail required and avoid getting bogged down in minutiae. This make ZBB more transparent and easier to communicate to stakeholders, enabling greater buy-in and support for the process.
