Issue
Cash is on the top of every Chief Finance Officer’s (CFO) mind and the pressure to manage multiple challenges is at an all time high. There is a compelling need for CFOs to achieve a balance between the long-term goals of capital planning and growth and the near-term requirement to manage cash flow and reduce costs.

Opportunity
Leading CFOs will better align their budgeting and planning processes with the new cash driven realities.

Perspective
Today’s climate requires a more robust situational analysis that can effectively balance the demands of both short-term cash needs and cost reduction with long-term capital planning.  But how can a CFO balance both?

Call to Action
There are four disciplines CFOs can quickly execute to rebalance their project portfolio and manage today’s critical cash needs. How can you quickly identify which projects to keep and which to terminate? How can you manage for today, while planning and budgeting for tomorrow? Read “ Capital Budgeting in the Downturn: Four Disciplines” for considerations and creative solutions.
