It can help wrestle control of costs, identify business value, simulate and assess alternative courses, and focus on the most profitable parts of the business. Are more tailored profitability analysis and measures needed? We’ll ask Gary Cokins at Analytics-Based Performance Management, Sveinung Baumann-Larsen at EY, and Michel Haesendonckx at SAP to share their insights on Profitability Analysis: Challenging Times Call for Flexible Measures.
