About this webinar.

It’s planning season, and businesses everywhere are preparing 2021 budgets. In this session, Drew Schulz shares his novel, data-driven ‘capacity planning’ model for creating budgets. He will focus on headcount planning, and consider a deceptively simple question: How many people do you need, and why? The goal is to find optimal ratios for every department based on clear business objectives. Tushar Makhija, who contends with the question of headcount planning for his sales team, will use the conversation with Drew to understand whether the metrics that he uses for his decision-making have application across the whole company.

Three tips and tricks.

  • What is capacity planning, and what data does it rely on?
  • What factors should be considered when optimizing for hiring decisions?
  • What systems are helpful to manage budgets once they are set?
