Strategic Budgeting
Tuesday, May 6, 2025, 12-1:00PM PT
A crucial tool for navigating a rapidly changing environment is a flexible budget that provides visibility into risks, changes, and the “what ifs.” This training will focus on budgeting techniques and tools that can increase visibility and enable timely decision-making. In this 90-minute session, NFF consultants will guide participants through:
- Strategies for identifying risks and opportunities within existing budgets
- Budgeting strategies and formats that increase the utility of budgets for decision making
- Budgeting and planning tools to navigate unknowns
This training will help participants improve the flexibility of their budgets and add visibility for risks, timing considerations, or potential triggers for decisions.
