Getting older; from wondering to knowing what your life will be like. Quite happy so far! Being involved with Beyond Budgeting for 30 years, I have never been more optimistic about the future of management innovation!

Control is expensive. Trust is free. Do the math. Don't throw everybody in jail just because someone abuse it, but deal firmly with those who do.

We have forgotten that «a target is not the target». Performance is not about hitting a given number. What we want is the best possible performance, given the circumstances. How do we know upfront exactly what that number is?

Beyond Budgeting helps getting rid of bad controls in favour of good controls, like for instance transparency. I wouldn't call that losing control!

Performance can’t be managed. You can sow the seeds and nurture the soil, but you can’t make a flower grow by pulling on it. And you don't dig it up once a month to check how it is growing.

I wish I had the clairevoyant skills of budget people. They seem to know what will happen next year. These days, I struggle with knowing what will happen tomorrow.

Believing that Beyond Budgeting is just about budgets is as wrong as beliveing that Agile is just about software. Check out BBRT.org.

Beyond Budgeting started out almost 30 years ago. More popular than ever, but some wonder why it is taking so long. Maybe it should. Concepts growing slowly and steadily are often much more sustainable than short-lived hypes that become fashionable overnight. We have seen a few.

While losing control is a manager’s biggest fear, having control is the biggest illusion. Having next year described with a million budget details might feel comfortable, but “more fiction has been written in Excel than in Word”, as Daniel Pink put it.

Beyond Budgeting's new tagline; "Performance. The right way." Beyond Budgeting changes how we define performance, how we deliver performance, how we evaluate performance and how we reward performance. The right way.

Individual bonus for knowledge work fails at least twice. First in assuming that performance in knowledge organisations is individual, second that money motivates knowledge work.

The issue is not if some are earning more than others. It is about how they spend their money.
