Structured Approach to Short-term Cash Flow Management PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 27-slide Working Capital Management: Short-term Cash Flow Management PowerPoint presentation, outlines a structured methodology for short-term cash flow management, emphasizing the importance of planning and design. It is divided into 7 key steps, each aimed at enhancing cash flow processes and ensuring stakeholder alignment.

The first step involves estimating the cash opportunity. This includes calculating potential benefits from improved cash flow management, such as increased liquidity and reduced borrowing costs. It also suggests proposing enhancements based on diagnostic findings.

Next, workshops are facilitated to gather input from finance teams. This collaborative approach aims to address concerns and refine strategies, ensuring that all relevant parties are aligned on proposed enhancements.

The third step focuses on conducting sessions with operations teams. Engaging these teams is crucial for understanding cash flow drivers and challenges. It ensures that operational insights are integrated into the overall planning process.

Following this, a pilot program is implemented. Testing new cash flow processes in selected business units allows for gathering feedback and refining the approach before broader deployment.

An initial revised forecast is then created, which develops a 13-week cash flow forecast that incorporates the recommended enhancements. This step ensures that the forecast is realistic and actionable.

Validation with stakeholders is the next phase. It involves reviewing the revised forecast with key stakeholders to ensure it meets their needs and expectations, incorporating their feedback to finalize the blueprint.

Lastly, framework documentation is conducted. This step is critical for clearly documenting the new cash flow model framework, including updated processes and governance structures, ensuring accessibility and understanding for all stakeholders involved.

This methodology provides a comprehensive approach to optimizing cash flow management, ensuring that all steps are aligned with stakeholder needs and operational realities.
