An entertaining and energetic program designed to de-mystify the budget process in which participants work in teams to develop a strategic plan and operating budget for a fictional company. Highlights include setting goals that translate into budget terms, selecting assumptions, and developing various budgets (including revenue budgets, labor budgets, estimating costs of products or services, travel budgets, sales/marketing budgets and administrative budgets). The result: staff and managers confident in their abilities to survive and thrive in your budget process! This program can be customized to your organization and facilitated at your location in 2, 4 or 6-hour format.
