Goals, Tracking, Variances and my Trusty Whiteboard
Written by Anthony Demangone, Powered by NAFCU
The budget process is well underway in NAFCU. And I love it!
My colleagues spend a lot of time and effort in putting together a detailed budget.
But perhaps what I like most is that budget season triggers the updating of my trusty whiteboard.
I track 19 things on that whiteboard that we need to achieve in 2019. It hangs on a wall by my office door. I can't leave the office without seeing it. If those 19 things go well, NAFCU goes well.
Remember Pearson's Law: That which is measured improves. That which is measured and reported improves exponentially.
