Abstract

In general, the invention is directed to enterprise planning techniques for developing an enterprise planning model that incorporate horizontal as well as vertical planning techniques. A subset of analysts associated with a common node of an enterprise hierarchy may define an enterprise planning session for the node that incorporates a plurality of enterprise planning activities. For example, a first analyst may define a sub-model for revenue planning and a second analyst may define a sub-model for salary planning. The enterprise planning system automatically aggregates the sub-models defined by subsets of analysts to obtain an enterprise-wide planning model. In this manner, the set of analysts may define an enterprise planning model that may allow large, diverse organizations to establish planning standards for multiple planning activities across dozens or hundreds of business units.
