Then find your goals…

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Activity-based costing improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the standard requirements:

  1. Is there any existing Activity-based costing governance structure?

  2. What attendant changes will need to be made to ensure that the solution is successful?

  3. Is there a documented and implemented monitoring plan?

  4. Is the current ‘as is’ process being followed? If not, what are the discrepancies?

  5. What is the right balance of time and resources between investigation, analysis, and discussion and dissemination?

  6. Think about the people you identified for your Activity-based costing project and the project responsibilities you would assign to them. what kind of training do you think they would need to perform these responsibilities effectively?

  7. Who sets the Activity-based costing standards?

  8. Are there Activity-based costing problems defined?

  9. The approach of traditional Activity-based costing works for detail complexity but is focused on a systematic approach rather than an understanding of the nature of systems themselves. what approach will permit us to deal with the kind of unpredictable emergent behaviors that dynamic complexity can introduce?

  10. What training and capacity building actions are needed to implement proposed reforms?

Complete the self assessment, on your own or with a team in a workshop setting. Use the workbook together with the self assessment requirements spreadsheet:

  • The workbook is the latest in-depth complete edition of the Activity-based costing book in PDF containing requirements, which criteria correspond to the criteria in…
