A documented planning method is fundamental for two reasons:

First, at every step of the business planning process, key decisions are made about how the business will be run. These decisions must be made by business leaders, not just the Finance team, for two reasons: they have the knowledge, and they must be empowered to decide the plan in order to hold them accountable for its delivery.

A documented method is needed to engage the leadership team in a coordinated, well structured process.

Second, a documented method gives participating leaders all the principles and guidelines they need to work through the process as a team, and to make consistent decisions across functions.
