Driving FP&A with Life-Cycle Costing: Higher Margins even without Revenue Growth (NSPCM)

Is it possible to increase the profitability of your NetSuite-driven company without relying on revenue growth? In this strategic webinar, designed specifically for CFOs and FP&A leaders, we discover how to achieve higher margins and reduce risk through advanced cost management—all supported by NetSuite EPM - Profitability and Cost Management (NSPCM) equivalent to Oracle EPCM. Often, traditional accounting systems blur true costs and hide critical inefficiencies. Together with Professor Jan Emblemsvåg and consultant Roger Medina, we explore robust financial frameworks such as Activity-Based Costing (ABC), Life-Cycle Costing (LCC), and Monte Carlo simulations. Additionally, we analyze live how tools like Oracle NetSuite EPM transform complex data into highly strategic decisions (including Profitability Curve analysis). ⏳ WEBINAR CONTENT & CHAPTERS: Use these timestamps to navigate directly to the sections of greatest interest: 00:00:00 - Start, Welcome, and Webinar Introduction 00:01:12 - Learning objectives and the evolutionary context of Life-Cycle Costing 00:04:52 - The critical difference between "Cost" and "Expense": The most common mistake in capacity management 00:15:15 - Principles of Activity-Based Costing (ABC) to identify true value 00:26:04 - Deep dive into Life-Cycle Costing: Different perspectives, externalities, and risks 00:37:42 - Managing Uncertainty: How to use Monte Carlo simulation methods 00:45:51 - Practical Demo in Oracle EPM: Profitability Analysis and the "Profitability Curve" 00:55:07 - Summary and Conclusions: Aligning finance and operational activities 📊 WEBINAR SUMMARY: This technical session provides finance and operations leaders with a roadmap to correct the shortcomings of backward-looking accounting models. Throughout the presentation, we demonstrate how proper allocation of excess capacity and precise differentiation between actual expenses and resource consumption (cost) can expose which products, services, or customers are eroding company capital (despite appearing operationally profitable). Toward the end, the session culminates in a simulation using Oracle NetSuite Enterprise Performance Management (NetSuite EPM), demonstrating how to generate probabilistic scenarios and visualize the "profitability curve." This equips FP&A teams with the full visibility needed to stop subsidizing unprofitable customers and align commercial strategies for optimal ROI. 💡 Subscribe to our channel for more high-value content on Financial Planning & Analysis, Financial Strategy, and Technology Transformation for CFOs using NetSuite EPM and AI. #FPA #CFO #Profitability #CostManagement #OracleEPM #ActivityBasedCosting #LifeCycleCosting #MonteCarlo #FinancialStrategy #CorporateFinance
