Close Process Optimization Workshop

In the current economic downturn, cost management and cost reduction are more vital than ever. Close Process Optimization will not only help your organization meet the demands of speed and quality in today's dynamic business environment, but will also help you achieve cost reductions through process improvement and optimization.

The Johnsson Group can help you simplify, automate and optimize your close process, which can translate to overall cost reductions through elimination of inefficient and redundant processes. Our proven approach will help you eliminate non-value added activities, while ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of your financial data and other business performance information.

The Path to Close Process Optimization

• Choosing the Strategic Entry Point
  The first step in the close process optimization journey is to assess the current state of the reporting chain in terms of data quality, technology and organizational alignment. The next step is to develop a roadmap to eliminate the common barriers that hinder the close process. The last step is to integrate the Optimized Close Process with Business Performance Management (BPM) functions and to redeploy the time and resource savings to value added activities.
