Most plans fail at the point of commitment

Not during delivery. The damage is already done if anything starts without checking what it's worth, who will actually do it and what could have been done instead.

Yes is easy, delivering it isn't

Ideas gets approved because they sound good, then they crash into the four other things the same three people are already doing.

Revenue is king, until it isn't

Without expected revenue, savings and cost given equal weight, side by side, the loudest voice wins and profit gets missed.

Seeing a problem emerge in real time is already too late

Slips show up in status meetings weeks after the capacity conflict should have been visible.

How Horizon Planner works

01

Score the proposal

Capture expected revenue, savings and cost. Horizon Planner returns an ROI, a net value and an overall verdict before anything is committed.

02

Check the resourcing

Test the dates against real people — working patterns, leave, skills and existing commitments — and see conflicts before you approve anything.

03

Track what actually happened

Snapshot the approved plan, log real spend and realised value, and get a combined on-track signal as delivery progresses.

Everything you need to make a decision, in one place

Proposals & verdicts

A single verdict combining ROI, net value and resource feasibility, with an adjustable lens for shifting priorities.

Goals & targets

Quarterly and annual targets with progress split into actual, committed and forecast results. Automatically adjust focus as Goal priorities evolve.

Skills matching

Define the skills a project needs and only assign the people who have them.

Budget control

Org-wide and per-goal budget targets, with logged actual spend against committed and forecast cost.

Results & RAG

A composite red/amber/green signal from milestones, spend variance and realised value.

Approval baselines

A snapshot of the original plan is frozen for future comparison and every material change is logged with its reason.

Built with operators in mind
