Today’s Economy Calls For a Different Approach

Due to current economic conditions, organizations have less budget to spend on large initiatives and must look for ways to ‘do more with less’. There is a need for an approach

that will allow organizations to identify the critical initiatives that can maximize revenue opportunities and reduce costs with measurable ROI.

Past Trends Current Reality

Large “big bang” transformational initiatives

Investment in growth & innovation

Significant outside services / IT spend

“Do more with less” (productivity focused)

Focus on core competencies to reduce cost and increase focus

Decreased outside services / IT spend

Targeted Projects

Smaller Teams

Tangible ROI Required

Longer / Broad Engagements

Larger Delivery Teams

Less Scrutiny on ROI

Discovery Phase – Sales & Account Planning

Critical Metrics / Data Requests

• Sales organization hierarchy

• Number of account managers, SE’s, support resources

• Number of territories, accounts, SE’s per AM

• Latest account plan

• Coverage conflicts

Pertinent Questions

Sales & Account Planning is a critical annual activity to prepare the sales organization for a new sales year. It involves re-aligning the sales workforce to specific goals for accounts within their specific territory coverage. Having the right hierarchy alignment and resource allocation drives

sales efficiency leading to revenue optimization and cost reduction.

Areas of Cost Reduction

1. Territory Coverage – Conflict of Sales Territories and Channels creates sales claiming and compensation inefficiencies

2. Resource Allocation – Imbalanced resource allocation creates higher cost of sales and increases sales cycle time

3. Sales Hierarchy Structure - Inconsistent sales hierarchy structure impacts cross-organizational planning and reporting

Revenue Leakage

1. Territory Coverage - Sub-optimal territory coverage alignment to go-to-market strategy creates lost selling opportunities

2. Account Definition - Multiple definitions of accounts within various organizations causes inability to measure sales performance accurately

1. What are the Go-To-Market strategies within the sales organization?

2. What is the as-is sales planning process?

3. What are the tools involved in the sales planning process?

4. How does the sales planning process differ across channels?

5. How much time is spent on each sales planning process?

6. Are accounts defined differently between the sales organization vs. other organizations? How does channel partner account planning impact annual account plans?

7. How are goals defined, approved and measured to sales performance?

• FP&A Controllers

Analysis Phase

Analysis Activities

1. Highlight and prioritize leading practices considering focus area, industry and geography.

2. Identify relevant inefficiencies by focus area throughout company.

3. Map key inefficiencies of focus area against process, policy, organization, data, and systems layers.

4. Chart / graph any relevant data and / or metrics .

Process 1

Forecasting best practices vary due type of business and location of organization as well as many other considerations. This list of best practices span these di fferences and used to identify areas

of improvement in similar organizations.

1. Lack of a centralized PMO to track initiatives that impact OE organizations. Need an objective end-to-end advocacy across the global OE Tracks (e.g. establish governance and portfolio management)

2. Incomplete roles and responsibilities in certain areas. Results in unclear roles & responsibilities, hand-offs and communication gaps (e.g. Sales communications, VAP-DSA alignment, bookings adjustments, Deals Consultant, etc.)

3. Lack of communications and training facilitation. Need improved communications between various OE organizations (e.g. forum for communications between CSF & GCCO groups) and training for new hires and/or ongoing refresher training (e.g. boot camps, hot topics, OE refresher)

4. Absence of global metrics. Need global measurement system to help tie overall OE performance/change efforts with individual functional group operating metrics (e.g. pulse survey, metrics dashboard)

5. “VSOE challenges” in advanced and emerging technologies and acquisitions (e.g. bookings and compensation policy changes, system enhancements, etc.)

6. Lack of process clarity in handling complex deals. (e.g. Global/Joint/Mega deals)

7. Need for clarification of policies in certain areas. Inadequacies impact upstream/downstream business workflow and result in surprises (e.g. Bookings policy, VAP policy, BU/Legal engagements)

Key Highlights

• Total of approximately 147 individually noted pain points around global end-to-end model derived from interviews with 39 global SME participants

• Pain point categories 1, 3 and 4 validate the need for immediate Continuous Improvement efforts

• Pain point category 2 refinement of incomplete roles and responsibilities (e.g. Deals Consultant, bookings adjustments, etc.) was identified as a gap area

• Although there is a high frequency of occurrence for pain point categories 5, 6 and 7, there are several cross-org projects addressing these areas. Continuous Improvement is currently engaging with them
