The only thing certain about forecasting in a volatile economy is that the future is unpredictable. Historically, organizations have effectively utilized statistical techniques for short-term business planning, but leveraging actuals no longer allows us to predict the future. The ability to be prepared, responsive, and agile under these conditions is becoming a crucial success factor. Oracle Strategic Modeling can help you better navigate change to cope with uncertainty.

A closer look at the problem…
Volatility and uncertainty affecting financial markets or the business climate is not new.
However, the ability of organizations to be prepared, responsive, and agile under these conditions is remains a crucial factor of
success.
Oracle’s Strategic Modeling is the tool that can enable organizations to respond to uncertainty and introduce agility in the financial
planning process.
How is this achieved in practice? We can reduce the process to five simple steps:
1. Identify Key Factors
2. Model Organization
3. Create Business Cases
4. Assess Strategic Plans
5. Align with Operational Plans
