Further information
The COVID-19 pandemic caught most companies unprepared. Overnight, the impact of uncertainty, dynamics and complexity on markets could no longer be ignored. Local events in an increasingly interconnected economy and uncertainties such as the climate crisis will continue to create high volatility and even chaos. Accordingly, many organizations will have to adjust their corporate governance to meet these demands.
Although many initiatives have already been realized around planning and forecasting in recent months, too many were just short-term fixes that did not bring the significant and lasting improvements required.
This study examines the contribution modern planning and forecasting can make to corporate management.
We asked 401 companies around the globe about the measures they are taking to modernize and the challenges they need to address to meet elevated requirements.

Here is some guidance:
- If your company does not offer software consulting or solutions, and the use of one or more software solutions (e.g., BI or ECM solutions) is either part of your everyday work or in the pipeline, then please select the option "work for a software user company" regardless of your industry sector or company size.
- Do you work for a company that offers software solutions (e.g., BI or ECM solutions)? Then please select "work for a software provider".
- If your company offers IT/software consulting or services, then "work for an IT service provider/consulting firm" is the right choice.
- Do you work or study in an educational institution such as a university or a research institute? Then choose "work/study in an educational institution".
- Do you work as an IT journalist and write technical articles, features, blogs etc. for media companies? Then please click on "work as a journalist".

I am having trouble submitting the form.
If you are unable to submit the form, please copy the URL of this page and open it in another browser. Google Chrome usually works fine. If that doesn’t work, please try Firefox, Microsoft Edge or Safari.
Why haven't I received the email with the link to the content?
If you have not received an email with a link to the content after several minutes, please do the following:
- Check your spam folder. Did the email land there? If not...
- Have you unsubscribed from all BARC mailings in the past? Check this by entering your email address in the form. If the text " Looks like you've opted out of email communication. Click here to get an email and opt back in." appears below your email address, click on it. We will then send you an automated email. Click on the link in the email to enter your "Subscription Center". To ensure you receive an email with the link to free content, please select "BARC products and services". Now fill out the form again. If you still do not receive an email, please continue with step 3.
- Are BARC’s email sending domains blocked in your company? This could be the case if your colleagues do not receive BARC mailings either. Please ask your IT/email team to add BARC's email sending domain to their allowlist. This will enable you to receive emails from BARC. That wasn't the problem either? Then off to step 4.
- It seems that we made a mistake. We apologize for that. Please contact [email protected] and describe your problem in detail, if possible with screenshots. We will find a solution as soon as possible. Promise!
