Knowing the Answers to the What Ifs of your Business – Advanced Scenario Analysis and Forecasting
All right, so now you’ve looked at your business retrospectively. With the help of your fully customized and tailor-made dashboard from DRIVATIC, you could gain a great perspective of the history of your business and what the current status of every nook and cranny is when it comes to your current affairs, but what about the future of your business.
You’ve played around with the filters and slicers, seeing your data change before your eyes, but that’s still producing calculations on KPIs according to historical data.
As a successful business owner, you can’t afford a real-life trial and error process in your business. Not only will it cost you money, but the precious time you could’ve utilized better to produce real growth in your industry.
So why not do this on a DRIVATIC dashboard report?
Ask yourself, how would your important data change should your favourite set of KPIs increase or decrease with a percentage or two or what would my bottom-line look like should I have increased the amount of produce on a particular offering. This helps a business owner learn from his company’s past to create a clear view of all the wrong decisions the company made and to improve on them in the future.
People often say: “Hope for the best and prepare for the worst,” but no, scenario analysis is not some form of wishful thinking.

It will help you create the most effective contingency plans for various of your projects should any worst case scenario arise because let’s face it – a business faces a lot of uncontrollable and you have to plan your way through every permutation and combination of these factors when they fall to the dark side of things.
