A Value-Based Planning Framework for Linking Financial Forecasts to Business Growth Strategies in the Energy Sector

Authors(3) :-Wasiu Eyinade, Onyinye Jacqueline Ezeilo, Ibidapo Abiodun Ogundeji

This paper presents a comprehensive value-based planning framework designed to bridge the gap between financial forecasting and business growth strategies in the energy sector. Recognizing the complexities and uncertainties inherent in this capital-intensive and rapidly evolving industry, the framework integrates detailed financial projections with strategic decision-making to enhance long-term value creation. The proposed model comprises three core components: financial forecasting, strategic growth evaluation, and value integration through key performance indicators. By fostering continuous feedback and alignment between financial insights and strategic initiatives, the framework supports dynamic adaptation to market changes and sustainability imperatives. The study highlights the importance of cross-functional collaboration, robust data management, and organizational commitment to implement value-based planning successfully. This integrated approach offers energy firms a practical tool to optimize resource allocation, balance conventional and renewable investments, and respond proactively to regulatory and market shifts. The paper concludes with implications for the sector and directions for future research to refine and validate the framework.
