In business, the hindsight zone is just about as valuable as the twilight zone – confusing, vague and gives you the info well after the fact. If you still rely solely on your ERP and Excel for FP&A insights, the hindsight zone is likely where you spend your days. And it won’t be doing you any favours.
Shift the focus away from reactivity
To thrive in the modern business world, you need to be proactive, not reactive. And when you’re wading through days-old data in Excel, you’ve already missed that boat. Moving your business to the foresight zone will give you a competitive advantage – you can predict future trends, mitigate risks before they happen, and increase your business agility.
