Did somebody mention cost allocation?

Just kidding. This is actually pretty important.

If strategic planning is meant to secure your company’s future

viability, and …

… cost allocation is a measure of affordability, then …

… equitable cost allocation is a strategic imperative.

And yes … we call it “equitable” cost allocation for a reason.

Every business unit pays their share of operations and administrative cost ...

… in a manner that is fair, reasonable, and consistently

applied.

Without equitable cost allocation, your strategic plan

will be easy to write.

… because your business might be out of business.
