Create Custom Capital Planning Reports: VFA Report Author

Strategic decisions about facilities can both involve and impact a wide range of stakeholders, including executives, board members, operations managers, department heads and finance leaders. Each has an important role to play in optimizing budgets and leveraging facilities to best achieve the organization’s overall mission.

When these key stakeholders do not have quick and easy access to facilities and capital planning report information, it becomes harder to make good decisions that include a full range of perspectives. Without everyone on the same page, decision-making can be slowed and objections may arise late in the capital budgeting process, throwing everything into disarray.

Different organizations have different needs and different reporting standards. To bring stakeholders together, it’s important to have reports and dashboards designed for the unique needs of the organization. With custom-designed reports, everyone can focus on key decisions without being distracted by extra data, missing fields or non-standard templates.

A plan is only as good as your ability to communicate it to others.
