Financial Governance Innovation For Enduring Results, Any Time, Any Season, Crisis or Not!

Innovate! Drop the Budget (as we know it) Use Agile Technology for Agile Financial Governance Leap Forward to Enduring Results the Wellbeing and Happiness - of Citizens Girls, Boys, Women, Men How Institutions and Governments Can NOW Get More Bang for the Buck, with Increased Transparent and Secure Agility if they CHOOSE!
Sessions Abridged Expected Outputs, Outcome, and Impact

Improved awareness and shift away from the inside the budget box thinking in PFM (Output) Improved awareness of the strategic and results focus in PFM (Output) Improved awareness of a savvier use of agile technology for PFM (Output) Greater focus on enduring PFM Governance results achievement (Outcome) Improved agility and soundness of PFM (Outcome) Increased resilience in times of crisis, even with deficits of crisis proportions (Outcome) Improved wellbeing and happiness of citizens girls, boys, women, and men (Impact).
Central Hypothesis
Businesses and countries that are using a results focus, supported by agile technology are doing much better in times of crisis Even though the countries are not using the full strength of the strategic and results focus (RBM) and the available agile technologies, they are doing better The financial crisis is the symptom of a broader ongoing exponential change
A Perpetual Adjustment Era?

Are we in a period of adjustment from the financial crisis? Are we in an era of perpetual adjustment? The 21st Century is the era of perpetual change and perpetual adjustment We need to be honing our agility to adapt all the time We need to be innovating, continuously 2013 Leader One Inc. 6
Financial Governance Innovation Innovation for Enduring Results

Innovation in vision setting Innovation in financial planning Innovation for HR agility Innovation in financial execution Innovation in decision-making Innovation in financial recording, reconciliation, analysis, audit, risk management, standards Innovation in financial transparency, corruption prevention/detection/resolution mechanisms Innovation in reporting and communication Innovation for enduring results
Imagination for Innovation

Imagination is better than knowledge Albert Einstein Logic will take you from A to Z; imagination will get you everywhere Albert Einstein
Reflection Point 1
What do you think of this topic so far? How do you see it? How does it sound to you? How does it feel? Does it makes sense? Is it out of this world thinking? Are we on a path towards something worth pursuing?
Three Key PFM Governance Innovation Aras

We will be covering only three areas Innovation Area 1: Shifting away from the traditional budget supremacy Innovation Area 2: Greater technological agility for agile Financial Governance Innovation Area 3: Greater emphasis and focus on citizen-centric results
Innovation Area 1: Shifting away from the traditional budget supremacy

The language of Finance is very revealing with contrasts Private Sector: finance is a resource to invest for a return Public Sector: finance is an expenditure, an expense, a use up Private sector: there is a growing movement to drop the budget Public sector: the budget is the LAW with a life of its own 2013 Leader One Inc. 11
There is an Ongoing Rethinking

About Finance; About the Budget
For the purpose of improving performance Getting out of the financial crisis Moving from historic bean counting and backward looking To an integrated historic accounting and forward-looking strategic anticipation
The Role of Finance is Evolving

In the Private Sector especially and in the Public Sector as well In part because of the financial crisis The CFO/Treasurer is becoming, more and more, a strategic partner Strategic partnership with the highest level of the institutional leadership Finance is providing more comprehensive support to the whole organization outside its traditional mandate 2013 Leader One Inc. 13
The New Duties of the CFO Or the Treasurer (Source 2)

Strategic advisor for an evergreen corporate strategy and governance structure Anticipate/detect trends in the core business Sharpen strategic resource allocations Integrate forecasting, reporting, and analytics More closely integrate with, support and create efficiencies across business units Promote a client-centric value culture Manage financial risk proactively and historically Improve the speed and quality of decisions
Private Sector: the Budget is a Resource Allocation Exercise

The main purpose of the allocation is the profit: the return on investment If it does not work, we can fix it, or drop it, and find a better tool The majority of companies still use the budget However, there is a new movement: a drop the budget movement
Why Drop the Budget?

Life is dynamic! Change happens! Plans are not perfect; they must be changed or they can become costly There is a Beyond Budgeting movement spearheaded by the Beyond Budgeting Round Table
Leaders: Jeremy Hope and Steve Player Books, articles, seminars, webinars... Very active in Europe & North America 2013 Leader One Inc. 16
What They Think of The Budget

It sucks the energy, time, fun, and
big dreams out of an organization. It hides opportunities and stunts growth. It brings out the most unproductive behaviors in an organization, from sandbagging to settling for mediocrity - Jack Welsh, Author of Winning and former CEO of General Electric
BBRTs 10 Reasons for Replacing the Budget/1 (Source 1)

1. 2.
3.
4. 5.
Prevents rapid response to unpredictable events Is too detailed and expensive, absorbing around 20% of management time Out of date within a few months. Key assumptions change frequently, causing confusion and rework. Out of kilter with the competitive environment Is divorced from strategy. Budgets are based on functions and departments rather than strategic themes
BBRTs 10 Reasons for Replacing the Budget/2 (Source 1)

6. 7.
8.
9. 10.
Stifle initiative and innovation Protects non-value-adding costs. Cost budgets are usually compiled and agreed on based on prior-year outcomes Reinforces command-and-control. Budgets were designed to enable functional leaders to manage the organization from the centre Budgeting de-motivates people Encourages unethical behaviour and increases reputational risk. Aggressive targets and incentives drive people to meet the numbers at almost any cost 2013 Leader One Inc. 19
What Beyond Budgeting Companies Do Instead of Budgeting/1 (Source 1)

3.
Continuous Management: shift to rolling forecasts, thus eliminating the huge work-spike caused by the annual budget exercise while keeping finance focused on the future Target Setting: shift managements focus to medium-term targets (three to five years out) that focus employees on reaching them quickly, rather than negotiating a fixed annual budget Incentives: Convert the current pay-fornegotiated results system into pay-forperformance system measured against peers
What Beyond Budgeting Companies Do Instead of Budgeting/2 (Source 1)

4.
5.
6.
Action Planning: Focus management on making the organization more agile to provide faster response to changing conditions Resource Allocation: Free up the time wasted in annual budgeting negotiations and putting it into continuous planning to quickly improve the business Accountability: Make teams more accountable by shifting control to relative key performance indicators, focusing managers on continuously improving costs
Budget Believers Are Sitting On the Fence and Watching

The majority of companies still use the budget for learning: stepping back, examining changes in their areas, resetting their assumptions The budget sets them up for making good decisions even if they later deviate from it The budget helps align business vision and financial operations
What they Say of the Budget

If your budget is broken, fix it. There is still value in a 12-month forecast, as long as you periodically revisit the assumptions. - Miles Ewing, Deloitte Consulting
Dropping the Budget Success Story (Source 3)

Statoil, a Norwegian energy company Abolished budgeting in 2005 and left the calendar year in 2010 21000 employees in 36 countries Fortune 500 company In 2011: was #1 in Social Responsibility and #7 in Innovation Last 10 years: above peer average on Return on capital and value creation
Public Sector Reality The Budget is the Law!

The budget is an annual legislation for public expenditure The Budget is supreme by tradition There is timid performance budgeting movement but Recent events reveal that the budget and its process can be more of a burden than a blessing In the 21st Century, the jury is out on the effectiveness of the budget 2013 Leader One Inc. 25
Reflection Point 2
What do you think of the dropping budgeting idea? How does it sound to you? How do you see it? How do you feel about it? In Your country, should you, and could you drop the budget? What would you guess the most innovative companies and countries are doing?
26
Innovation Area 2: Greater Technological Agility for Agile Financial Governance
To achieve better results, successful companies and countries leverage agile technology Fortunately, technological computing power is growing exponentially while the cost is falling exponentially as well Governments CAN NOW more EASILY achieve Financial Governance Agility, while reducing risk, if they CHOOSE!
Agile Technology to the Rescue!

Recent technological advances offer greater capacity and security Make it easier and easier for government to be more strategic and results oriented Offer government more transformative and innovative capacity Offer greater potential for more effectiveness, efficiency, accountability Opportunities to better serve citizens: girls, boys, women and men 2013 Leader One Inc. 28
Agile Technologies... A Mass Democratization of IT
Agile Inexpensive Technological Innovations

Agile means of access, storage, processing of data Cloud Computing: SaaS (software), IaaS (infrastructure) Telecommunications: global interconnectedness Legacy installation boosters (software) A new generation of applications gives access to data with multiple media (widget-based dashboards; Apps; visual analytics or data display on PC, Tablets, Mobiles) Big Data: awareness, meaning, insight, connections, silo gap bridging, to answer questions we have or solve problems (large warehouses; joined small databases) Enriches performance measurement & decisions-making
Agile Analytics Business Intelligence software
Big Data Analytics

Big Data has become a buzz word Big IT vendors invest to push their products on the market (IBM, Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, HP) IBM has spent over $10 billions buying emerging data analytics companies The US Government is spending $200 millions on Big Data projects to jump ahead to the next IT frontier Data Analytics enables us to see undetectable patterns in data, to understand risk exposure, better predict decision outcomes, etc
Best in Class Companies Focus on Results and Use Agile Technologies

They are dropping the budget They are using transformative technologies (awareness -> innovation) They are automating and integrating multiple functions and tasks They are getting more effectiveness, more efficiency, less risk, more results They are ahead and beyond their competition
Top Performing Companies Automate and Integrate

Multi-functional integration Transactions recording Financial analysis Reporting Forecasting Strategic planning Scenario Planning Driver-Based Planning Performance management Risk management Audit Work flow, CRM, HR, Decision-making, etc
Could Computing Inexpensive Innovations

Software as a service (SaaS) and/or Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) Developed and maintained by the vendor Vendor is paid by ongoing subscription Operating costs are transparent, predictable, affordable Capacity when you need it Eliminates need for internal IT investment Enables the focus on business execution
Cloud Computing The Big Players
Amazon Web Services - AWS

Software and infrastructure as a service Industry leader, started before Cloud Analogy of electricity: accessible, reliable, no set up fee; pay as you use Hosts Amazon S3 (inexpensive storage)
Multiple players
New small and growing companies Big traditional companies (SAP, IBM)
What Does BI/Analytics Do?

It empowers us to learn more from data by revealing trends, patterns, variations Achieves a single version of the truth Improved accuracy (by up to 100%) Makes sense of "big data" a high volume, high-velocity and high-variety of information assets and formats Resolves challenges for CFOs and Finance departments (complexity; high costs; need for
real-time insight)
What they Say Analytics Boost Performance

Managers in top performing organizations are 30% more likely than others to find the information they need, when they need it - David White, Senior Research Analyst,
Aberdeen Group
Sample Types of Analytics

Marketing analytics Decision-making analytics Predictive analytics Social Media analytics Business analytics HR and Work force analytics Privacy Analytics
What they Say About Agility

Its been a difficult and volatile year in the world economy, however its the companies that have built agile and flexible treasuries that will see their way through the tough times. - Katharine Morton, Managing Editor, Treasury Perspectives
Integrated Information Systems Drive Performance
From departmental systems in silos CRM: client relationship management PSA: professional services automation ERP: Financial/enterprise resource planning To integrated information systems SRS: service resource and mgt system Finance, Accounting, Audit, M&E Visibility, transparency, productivity SaaS/Iaas: evergreen provide affordable quality applications

Governments to Watch for in Financial Governance Agility/1
United States of America:

Investing $200 million in Big Data Sample U.S. Departments speaking at a Big Data in Government (May 2013) Conference (Washington D.C.) DOD (Defence), DOH (Homeland Security), NIST (Nat. Inst. Standards and Technology), DOT (Transportation, DOE (Energy), etc
Governments to Watch for in Financial Governance Agility/2

Georgia: Integrated public financial management system + e-budget (2012) India: Central Bank modernises financial system with analytics Philippines: Government Integrated Financial Management Information Systems (GIFMIS) with an e-Budgeting System (by 2014) Singapore: Social analytics for business enterprises
Reflection Point 3
What do you think of agile technology, BI, Big Data? How do you see it? How does it feel to you? How does it sound to you? Is it a buzz in your country? Is investing in agile technology a waste of limited resources that could be put to better use?
Innovation Area 3: Greater Emphasis and Focus on Citizen-Centric Results

There is a new Law Results First or Budget First What would you choose? Can history and the recent crisis reveal an answer? Well look at a sample companies and countries that focus or not on Results, and see what happens
Its 2013! We are in the 21st Century! There is a New LAW!

The Law of the 21st Century: innovate to adapt or perish! Exponential change, complexity; technological disruption; crisis; uncertainty; volatility; unforeseen events Citizens are evolving as well: more and more aware, empowered with agile IT, growing expectations, demands Necessity of strategic FOCUS: less emphasis on the budget; more emphasis on where we want to go: vision, priorities, goals, results for girls, boys, women and men Adopt or stick with RBM/MfDR (MBO and MBA are pass); apply more rigorously Use technology to integrate as many functions as possible Information in real time for better on time decisions That is the NEW LAW! Innovate or perish; live or die!
Results First vs. Budget First

What should it be? Strategic common sense, a universal principle, and evidence suggest Government primary emphasis should be Results First rather than Budget First The Budget must support the achievement of Results Rather than results informing budgetary decisions as is the practice
Results Supremacy Thinking

Financial resources have dropped considerably Governments have accumulated deficits of crisis proportions We need a shift in mindset Results supremacy governance offer the best way out of the crisis Fortunes are made In times of crisis when best companies invest, others divest 2013 Leader One Inc. 52
The Crisis Gives Governments a Second Chance to Refocus

Take a hard look at the results focus As they struggle in crisis, it is difficult for government to be conscious of this issue They are busy, acting on the short termextinguishing the fire So, debates like this one today, can help raise awareness and inspire long term action Investing wisely/strategically for the wellbeing and happiness of citizens
History & the Crisis Reveal

Weaknesses of Budget supremacy governance Virtues of Strategic and ResultsBased governance Reminder the Results-Based Management movement started during an economic crisis in the late 1980s/early 1990s
History & the Crisis Reveal /2

Based on common sense, not scientific Companies that focus on results succeed and endure for centuries if they do not become complacent Countries that focus on results become more successful, until they un-focus their attention on their vision for results Countries that focus on budget supremacy and lose sight of their vision for results face difficulties or fail
Companies & Countries that Focused on Results Succeed
Sample companies
American Express, General Electric, Boeing, Walt Disney, etc
Sample countries
Australia, Canada, Chile, China, Japan, Korea, Poland, Rwanda, Singapore, Sweden, United States of America In general, emerging countries that have been forced to implement RBM/MfDR 2013 Leader One Inc. 56
Countries that Focused on Budget Supremacy

Developed countries in general; especially Western European countries where tradition is very strong Exception: the Scandinavian countries in general
57
Companies that Lost Their Results Vigilance; Their Edge

In general, successful people, companies, countries, tend to become less vigilant Sample companies: IBM and Kodak Sample countries: Japan, United States of America
58
In Summary: Countries on Results Are Better Off
Countries that pursued results with the support of the budget

Seem to be doing better Until they forgot their focus on results and fell into crisis situation
Countries that have innocently stuck their heads in the sand of budget supremacy
seem to be having more difficulties

Can We Shift To a Results First Mode in Government?

What are our biggest challenges? Why we CAN but we WONTT? There is hope however
60
The Biggest Challenges to Shifting to Results First
For most countries, legal and/or constitutional reform are required

To subordinate the budget to results Or even raise the bar in favour of the pursuit of results over budgets
It will take time and effort The biggest challenge is NOT that we cant do it It is that WE WONT!
Why We Wont Shift?

Entrenched governance structures Politics and the powerful lobby The fact that the Budget is the LAW and likely to remain the law for the foreseeable future The budget tradition and its ensuing mindset , habits and culture Unawareness or belief among Finance professionals, Economists, Researchers, etc., that RBM/MfDR is irrelevant 2013 Leader One Inc. 62
Why We Wont Shift/2

Despite (or because of) a decade of international coordination and harmonization efforts in RBM/MfDR There is still a proliferation of definitions and sometimes conflicting definitions, tools and practices in RBM/MfDR, Performance Budgeting and Performance Audit
Why We Wont Shift/3

Selective application of RBM principles or lack of rigor in application (including the WB, the UN) Misunderstanding, confusions, misconceptions regarding RBM/MfDR concepts and tools A hoard of new experts, sometimes with minimal training, conquering the MfDR market No wonder the verdict is of lack of progress in MfDR at the High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan, South Korea, 2011 We are afraid of FAILURE!
What do We Do Instead?

We focus on structural reforms and elaborate processes, complex procedures and rules We focus on activities, inputs and outputs and leave outcomes and impacts to evaluators We practice a lot of Indicators-Based Management (IBM) instead of RBM/MfDR We lower the bar and undertake projects and programs that we know we can measure and we cannot fail Prohibit failure and you kill innovation!
Failure and Success Are Two Sides of the Same Coin

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. Albert Einstein
66
There is Hope However
The Bilateral agencies, DAC-OECD, the UN, the World Bank and Regional Development Banks are still trying harder with RBM/MfDR Developing countries are now buyers of RBM Developed countries have implemented reforms to accommodate a results focus Unfortunately, they tend not to go far enough, for now they admit that they are struggling The Open Government movement will help Big vision initiatives: MDGs; Ending Extreme Poverty by 2030 and More Prosperity for the lower 40% 2013 Leader One Inc. are very useful 67
Reflection Point 4
What do you think of the Results Focus anyway? How does it feel to you? How do you see it? How does it Sound to you? How would you characterize the state of the Results Focus or RBM/MfDR in your country?
68
As We Conclude. More About Focus

Where do we go from here Strategic focus Citizen-centric focus Global and Finance partnership Abundance focus Innovation in Leadership and Process Innovation in action!
Where Do We Go From here?

We must innovate: take leadership role to bring Public Finance to the next level Play our role of strategic partner at the highest level while supporting all levels Renew or begin putting more emphasis on results and support it with the budget Invest in agile technology to engage in Agile Financial Governance where all is integrated for effectiveness, efficiency, risk reduction, ., results for citizens
We Must Innovate!
We must accept and exercise our new Finance strategic leadership Build and nurture a culture of innovation for continuous adaptation for the 21st Century and beyond Mitigate innovation obstacles with innovation and new idea adoption models (resistance & commitment)
Innovation Is About Change Change In Perspective

When You Change The Way You Look At Things, The Things You Look At Change. Unknown
72
A Culture of Innovation for Results Takes Care & Time

Seek commitment and support from the top to develop and nurture a culture of innovation for results Develop and implement an innovation strategy Ensure stakeholder participation Limit failures: using the resistance, commitment & adoption models
Resistance-Commitment Scale

74
The Diffusion of Innovations

(Everett Rogers/Geoffrey Moore)
75
We Must Be Focused: Be Strategic and Results Oriented!

Supremacy of Results: renewed emphasis on RBM/MfDR at all levels Emphasis on Performance Budgeting that support results by design Emphasis on Performance Audit Emphasis on the use of agile technology Emphasis on abundance thinking
Citizen-Centric - Girls, Boys, Women, Men - Results Focus
Keep in mind the analogy of the chain

A chain is as strong as its weakest link! A community, a country, a society, an organization is as strong as its weakest member
Consider Jim Yong Kim/WBs pledge for a 3% poverty by 2030 with more prosperity for the lower 40% in every country Consider an abundance thinking approach Abundance for all
What they Say About Focus and Innovation for Results

I have no doubt that the world can end extreme poverty within a generation. But its not a given and we cannot do it alone. It requires focus, innovation and commitments from everyone. - Jim Young Kim, President, The World Bank
Abundance: The Future is Better than You Think

Title of a book by Peter H. Diamandis and Steven Kotler Diamandis is an innovation pioneer He invites us to embrace change He offers a roadmap (governments, industry, entrepreneurs) by offering hints for strategic priorities and partnerships He gives us plenty of reasons to be optimistic at creating a better future
The Power of Focus
What we focus upon expands! Universal Law proven by Science As a man thinketh, so is he Buddha
(Valid for a woman too!)
Innovation In Leadership and Process for Results!

Finance is part of the Process side of the business of Government Let us remember that to be effective, process must play a supporting role; a difficult balancing act in resource allocation, procurement, transparency, bad risk avoidance Finance has a lot of clout and power in every organization! What it does can have a positive or negative impact on government results Let us exercise this power wisely with a results focused great leadership
