-Establishing the integral links between planning and performance
-Demonstrating how risk management and performance assessment impact planning
-Applying business analytics and Big Data in the finance and accounting functions as well as marketing, sales, operations and other functions
-Evaluating the effectiveness of a strategy map and the balanced scorecard as a management tool
-Tying budgeting to strategy and measuring the effectiveness of both via ongoing performance

Written in a plain, straight-forward fashion that will allow you to draw immediate value from its content, this book pulls together several topics in an elegant, yet sophisticated approach, understandable to experienced and new managers alike.
