The Myth of the One-Number Plan

For some time, there has been a movement to drive the entire organization from a single operating number, usually the budget. In theory, that is a good thing, as long as you have the right number. The budget is what the company wants or wishes to happen; very seldom does it represent what is going to happen. For that matter, neither does the sales forecast. Learn how range planning can reduce risks and breed a more profitable operation by working on the premise that being "roughly right" is far better than being "precisely wrong."

Miles will also serve as the conference chairperson on April 18.
