Total Compensation Management Spotlight Sponsored by BusinessFinance
Insight for Finance to Accelerate Compensation Management Investments
"Total Compensation Management has evolved from a disparate set of activities and technologies into a process that provides unified information from applications that can help companies understand and optimize compensation to build optimal performance in the business. But compensation management cannot be successful without finance being involved and working with HR executives to decisively make changes to existing approaches. How finance can more solidly understand how to bring base, merit, stock, variable and rewards into a single compensation view for planning and decision-making is at the center of the Talent Management market and where improvements to workforce performance can be achieved.
Join Business Finance and Ventana Research for this 90-minute web event exclusively dedicated to educating and presenting the latest in Total Compensation Management."

Planning & Budgeting
Improving Effectiveness through Best Practices and Technology
Budgeting and planning is an area of finance that is long-established yet ripe for change. There is widespread dissatisfaction with the budgeting process. Nearly all business people regard it as a waste of time and resources. Typically, it eats up 10 to 15 percent of the finance organization’s time, and it takes five to eight months to complete the full cycle in large organizations. Worse, people usually view budgets as being out of date almost from the start and as having little or no strategic value.
