Course Description:

What is Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB)?

Zero-based budgeting (ZBB) is a dynamic approach where every dollar earned by an organization is assigned a specific function, and all expenses are scrutinized for relevance and necessity. This method doesn't just focus on incremental changes but rather requires that all funds are accounted for from scratch – hence "zero-based." It's a thorough process of building a budget based on the organization's needs at the beginning of each period, ensuring every penny is justified and aligned with business objectives.

The Power of ZBB:

• Complete Analysis: Unlike traditional budgeting methods, ZBB doesn't carry over past spending levels. It demands a fresh look at all expenses, both new and recurring, to justify their existence and importance in the upcoming period.
• Strategic Focus: ZBB prompts managers to consider the strategic value of every expense, fostering a culture of cost optimization and value realization.
• Cost Management: By requiring regular reassessment, ZBB helps organizations stay agile and responsive to changing market conditions, ensuring they are not overspending or underfunding critical areas.

Why is ZBB Important?

Recent surveys by Delloite reveal that businesses adopting ZBB are more likely to meet their cost targets. Globally, 58% of ZBB users met their targets compared to 63% who did not use ZBB. While the US showed a higher rate of cost program failure for ZBB users (65%) compared to non-ZBB users (57%), other regions such as Latin America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific saw lower failure rates among ZBB adopters (57%, 52%, and 60% respectively) than non-adopters (68%, 56%, and 71% respectively).
