Budgeting should be useful, not painful

The budgeting process at most companies reminds me of one of those stories about a backward society following rituals it no longer understands. Businesses are about being financially successful. The original needs for budgeting supported that goal, but appear to be largely forgotten. This book returns budgeting to its useful roots, illustrating how budgeting at is core is a tool for selecting, communicating, and aligning strategy across a company. The book also has great suggestions for making the budgeting process both easier and more useful. Unfortunately, the writing is not as good as the ideas, and the book gets tiring to read.
