Reid All About it
JULY 8, 2011
This morning I was reminded that I spend a lot of my time in a world that’s very different than the world many others live in. Maybe I’m in a bubble. When the citizens of my world go to an educational session or a conference, we bring our laptops and phones. We take them out, listen and type, tweet or text. This is how we digest information, learn and share.

I subscribe to, and occasionally read, a blog published by marketing expert Seth Godin. I think Seth has some very interesting observations and useful tips on marketing. If you haven’t read some of his books like, Permission Marketing or All Marketers Are Liars , you should. I don’t always agree with Seth, but he often causes me to think about something in a way I haven’t before.

Traditional budgeting and forecasting methods can no longer keep pace with today’s rapidly evolving business environment. Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty. To stay ahead, finance leaders must leverage a future-forward approach—one that leverages real-time data, predictive analytics, and continuous planning to drive smarter financial decisions.

The yogurt shop near my home is packed most days right now. In December? Not so much. Try to snag a last-minute seat on a fairly full flight and you're likely to pay far more than the passenger who booked months in advance. But walk into a hotel at 10 p.m. and you might just negotiate an unbelievable rate since the room is about to go unsold.
