Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty.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.

It’s really hard to guess whether a change you want to make will actually get better results. You just have to give it a try and see! One way to do that is through A/B testing or split testing. You pick one variable with two different options. You send Option 1 to half of your list and Option 2 to the other half, and see what works better. Or, you can send each option to a part of your list (say Option A to 20%, Option B to 20% and then you send the winner to the remaining 60%).
