Reliance on planning and forecasting has mushroomed since the dawn of the computer era. Data flows freely up and down the business hierarchy, greatly enhancing leaders’ ability to oversee performance and respond in real time.

Many fail miserably” (p. 1).

Many businesses face liquidity crises; the list is growing fast and becoming endless. What causes this brutal phenomenon? There are no easy answers. Here we aim to introduce an approach by which leaders can minimize liquidity management risk and enrich the experience of key stakeholders. A sophisticated approach in governing order-to-cash (OTC) process is an essential prerequisite for achieving and sustaining success.
Despite the rapid development of transformation management field theories, tools and techniques, only a handful of change efforts have in fact been successful. We therefore find it necessary to introduce a framework by which leaders can enhance a transformation programme and deliver expected results.
Empirical evidence and academic research show that transformation programmes almost always make problems worse than they already are. No matter how they are framed and organized, transformation programmes regularly fail: outcomes are unpredictable and horror stories are common. What is the solution? How should leaders cope with these problems?

All types of organisational design influence not only business life but also social and economic life.
