About this webinar:
For most professional services firms, a reliable 3-month forecast feels impossible. Finance sees dollars, Operations sees hours, and “capacity” plans are trapped in static spreadsheets that become obsolete the moment you hit save.
This session reveals how to solve the “planning discipline” problem. We shift the focus from forecasting as a backward-looking financial output to a continuous, forward-looking planning input – showing you exactly how to build a living forecasting machine in 2026.
Watch to see how leading firms are making the shift to:
- Bridge the Finance and Ops Gap: Create a single, shared definition of capacity. Learn the exact process to translate initial SOW drafts into confirmed, unified schedules that both departments can trust.
- Kill Spreadsheet Data Decay: Stop making decisions based on data from weeks ago. Discover the operational routines needed to maintain plan accuracy despite daily project shifts and agile delivery chaos.
- Drive P&L with Workload Visibility: Turn your schedule into a strategic decision engine. Learn how to use bench data to steer pricing (knowing when to sell at cost vs. raise rates) and adjust your hiring velocity based on actual demand.
Hosted by our expert Senior Customer Success Manager, Alexandra Ardelean – who built the planning infrastructure to scale a consulting firm from 60 to over 200 FTEs while maintaining 85%+ utilization – and Solutions Consultant Cyann Chapuseaux. This masterclass combines a proven, practical playbook with a live look at how BigTime Resource Management enables this entire lifecycle
If your firm is struggling with unpredictable margins, reactive hiring, or a constant disconnect between what is in the pipeline and who is actually available, this on-demand session provides the blueprint to secure your 3-month visibility.
