Akili Joins the Beyond Budgeting Round Table
Akili's clients now have resources available to develop an adaptive business lifecycle with Akili joining the Beyond Budgeting Round Table (BBRT).

BBRT is at the heart of a new movement that is searching for ways to build lean, adaptive and ethical enterprises that can sustain superior competitive performance.

Specifically for Budgeting, Planning and Consolidations, the BBRT and Akili have developed an integrated methodology whereby if a client is looking to re-establish their Budgeting and Forecasting processes to become a more adaptive enterprise, BBRT will work with Akili and the client to create brand new techniques.
