Let’s start by sorting the jargon
BI - Business intelligence IFRS - Inter’l Financial Reporting StandardsOLAP - online analytical processing PM - Performance management SOA - service-oriented architecture SaaS - software as a service
Sherwood Group Consulting –
Some PM definitions from the web
Performance management links strategy with corporate objectives and aligns a company's resources by coordinating efforts of every member of the organization.
The integrated process by which an agency involves its employees in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and strategic goals.
The process of quantifying, measuring, correcting and reporting system service levels
PM is a business process application for managing outcomes from strategy thru to execution.
Sherwood Group Consulting
BI, what exactly is it?
Intelligence or information gathering in business terms broadly covers employment of analytical systems to retrieve process and present information for business use.
BI tools now come with sophisticated analytically based graphics and intuitive interactive end user reporting and reduce massive online data sources to simple and decisive value.
Performance management have embedded BI processes for transaction drilling
Sherwood Group Consulting –
PM BI Systems
Succinctly put, Business Intelligence (BI) systems present decision based information by systematically analyzing an organization's own business data directly from its source.

A complete process end to end in a closed loop system
PM Understanding its value
PM ROI – is dollars, but could be lives and safety. ROI calculations on PM projects are mostly subjective
and not always necessary. The "soft" benefits of PM are the most important - The
main benefits you get from PM are intangible benefits of strategic value, such as faster reporting, better management information, better decision making and more productive users.
Executive sponsorship is key to sell and recoup these kinds of soft, intangible benefits.
Sherwood Group Consulting
Assessing the Value
Estimate what is be needed to revert to a manual spreadsheet system. How many people, Time taken Decision lead time and so on
Result .. Yes it is not possible to revert
But check you are not doing both – old habit die hard, believe me.
Sherwood Group Consulting
Testing the value Example Do a top down Plan first
Try doing the top down approach first . Then do the budget bottom up and match it
(budget can be done in detail even by product) Discuss the Gaps and proceed with approvals
(Do another round if and compare in minutes /days) Consolidate and present to Board Check how long it took and the quality
Suggest revert and see reaction (That is everyone go back to the offline spreadsheet)
Impossible so you know the value
Sherwood Group Consulting
Live Experience -SME is MalaysiaPrivate Company $25 million
Scenario All states logistics operation Very profitable Incentive based management style Budgets takes 6-10 weeks and painful Actuals take 17 days each month including
reprocessing. Management issue Sources CPM ERP, Budget, Operations data. Vendors support difficult to find Business growth constrained by systems
Sherwood Group Consulting
Live Experience -SME is Singapore Results – as we go approach
Implemented PM system in 4 days Loaded data and budgets in 2 days &
collaborating immediate value Live in development (parallel) fix as we go. Results now taking 4 days as issues dealt with Next year budget already planned top down. Growth plan is now in the design. restructuring issues solved on the fly. Operations are thrilled.. Can see the numbers
Sherwood Group Consulting
Live Experience -SME in Malaysia Operation 12 months but formally still a POC internally
As a Service no technology in-house (yet) Process focus and outcomes were the key Business rules adopted quickly to facilitate build Very focused finance team for results and buy-in Dedicated consultant working remotely One face to face meeting with Consultant Recommended by Accountants for growth and due
diligence planning (always ready) No way back now.. Management ecstatic
Sherwood Group Consulting
PM Users, who are they & why?
An estimated 23% of business have a PM system. This is mostly high end organisations
99.9 % of all business have a spread sheets 75% manual 5% link then to sources directly.
Small but significant growing number of SMEs taking up PM (3-5% but rapid take )
And about 35 % are using some form of BI or information extractions tool
There is a big gap and huge demand growth with the software industry targeting that very hard
Sherwood Group Consulting
PM and BI Trends & drivers & why?
Bad spreadsheets & good quality tools at reduced cost & ease of ownership are driving high interest in
performance management software.
PM/BI software is trending to be seen more as an essential for all business like the ERP systems became
for transaction management .
Regulators and private inventors and banks are insisting on formal PM processes to be and show transparent
controls
SME are adopting formal PM processes for wealth and growth creation management with always ready due
diligence capability to maximum sale value
Sherwood Group Consulting –
Evolution of Capability
Maturity of PM disciplines and
systems, means valuable consistently organized data is very
accessible in organizations.

data source to support change to
move quickly to their next level of
competitive advantage.

Sherwood Group Consulting
Software Expectations
Software subject matter must perform like a A highly qualified graduate with 100 perfect
pass park in the highest university level course in the world currently and have at least 25 years experience.
Manager’s may not have the skill to manage this level of resource and get the value
Specialist consultants are important Everyone wants support
Sherwood Group Consulting – Confidential
Skill Shortages changes impacts
Today there is a serious shortages of skilled financial controllers and financial management people Open market is generating massive demand for control World on move so quickly so no sustainable transitions Functional learning base rather logic based with problem
solving skills changing or less sustainable Less focus on in-house formal manage training and
leadership courses Smart management and BI software is picking up the gap
as they manage the processes too Universities now teach use of software as a core
Sherwood Group Consulting – Confidential
Consolidation Systems – Now Must have
Organisation , including complex ownership structures
Currency translation (including accounts valuation distinctions)
Data Flow Standards (Opening Balances and automatic results re-balancing from inputs)
Consolidation entries and audit process Intercompany and Investment elimination
functionality Complex accounting automation (journals and
adjustments)
Sherwood Group Consulting –
Consolidation Systems - Future New breed smart systems in the works
will : Automate movements analysis (attributed
capability for structured movements analysis) Have Automated attributed outcomes for
report generation (e.g. Cash flow) Handle transaction currency and Hyper
inflation revaluation.. They do already actually Provide Functional currency switching . (What
happens when you the rules change and you answer is different? )
Sherwood Group Consulting –
Example on Grand Scale Building the ultimate PM/ BI
In Oil drilling information is rich in information but is scattered across the world
Same for manufacturing and mining as with services banking and in fact every process
Alternative energy and exploitation and conservation will depend on the ability to normalize and analysis this data form disparate sources and formats
But how can we do this?.Sherwood Group Consulting –
Grand Scale Example – cont’dBuild the ultimate PM/ BI
Chevron planning a PM /BI project that will take 5 years to complete.
Largely in Asia with skills high capability at lower cost.It will provide indexing of data to a normalize BI data
mart with search engine power And use high end visualization and simulation toolsData will stay where it is but available, real time
Sherwood Group Consulting –
Emended Business intelligence
Amazing Yes. but not really We do it every day now but with blinkers on. PM systems & embedded BI like Infor does this
now But the scale is now becoming obvious as
business people are seeing the value and expand the platforms away from just being finance focused
Sherwood Group Consulting –
Futurist Maintenance Performance
Use of Optical scanning on operator head gear fed back to central database will provide instant diagnosis of performance.
This is real now in energy companies so imaging the impact on manufacturing automotive and general life operating life style if were harness that technology
Six Sigma to identify and remove the causes of defects will look like quite a passé Sherwood Group Consulting –
Software as a service [Saas] Is it a real phenomenon or just a hype to
sell software What does it mean? What is the value proposition? Who gets the benefit? What are the risks? What about the 2 sets of books? Do we really trust an outside computer? What is SAS70?
Sherwood Group Consulting –
Just a few examples
Google.com Range of services including, web services,
email, photo news and many more Yahoo.com
Try Finance for share portfolio management Salesforce.com
Huge take up for sales pipeline management
Many more .. And it is here to stay

Live example Using PM as a change tool
Thai company recently spent a year revamping their corporate performance management thinking.
The sort is fantastic for this 100 year old consumer products company of 85000 employees, including 4000 in IT.
You would think they would have all the tools but they chose just a Strategy Management tool for the task and it has had revolutionary results
