About EPM
Enterprise Performance Management is the process and technologies required to interconnect and answering the following business questions:
- What do we want to happen in the business: what’s possible?
- Who will deliver on the promises the organizations make, where, and by when?
- How are we doing right now?
- Why did we get the results we got?
- Given what we’ve got, and what’s possible, what’s next?
It applies to all areas of the business: sales, marketing, operations, HR, and so on. It’s usually a joint responsibility of the CFO and CIO. To get an overview of EPM, read my book “EPM Done Right.” You can see the table of contents here:
