Beyond Budgeting: A framework to enable agile finance

Traditional budgeting is broken. Annual cycles, fixed targets, and top-down controls were designed for a world that no longer exists. In this interactive talk, we’ll explore the Beyond Budgeting model — a revolutionary approach that replaces rigid planning with adaptive management and decentralized decision-making.
Whether you're in finance, leadership, or transformation, this session will help you understand:

• Why budgets often constrain rather than enable performance
• How leading organizations like Handelsbanken and Equinor thrive without them
• How Beyond Budgeting aligns with Agile, SAFe, and Lean Portfolio Management
• What it takes to build a culture of trust, transparency, and continuous learning

Join us to rethink how your organization plans, leads, and adapts — beyond the budget.
