Zero-based budgeting approach

Budgets are “built up”​ to reflect new spending requirements (e.g., strategy, new economic/industry challenges)

Budgets are “driver-based”​ i.e. a disaggregate of price and quantity (where possible) to enable agile budgets

Dual accountability​ – budget owners and cost category owners are both accountable to meeting targets

Continuous variance monitoring​ enables action planning to resolve variances
