I highly recommend Unleashing the Power of Profitability Analytics by PACE. This insightful book offers a comprehensive overview of PACE’s Profitability Analytics Framework—a unique cost and profitability management tool designed to enhance strategy development and implementation across any organization. Drawing upon decades of expertise, PACE’s framework describes a principle-based approach, emphasizing the importance of understanding cause-and-effect relationships within an organization for better planning and management. The book encourages a focus on economic substance rather than merely fulfilling external reporting requirements, making it a valuable resource for both costing and profitability professionals.

​During my 20-year career in cost and profit management, I've been shocked multiple times by companies that lack the basic understanding of how to make money. In its new book, Unleashing the Power of Profitability Analytics, PACE developed a commonsense manual on how to do just that in the 21st century. It is brilliant in clearly describing the comprehensive complexity of running a profitable business using PACE's proven Profitability Analytics Framework. If your company finds itself swimming in red ink or wants to avoid it, you MUST read this book.

I was attracted to this book because of the depth, breadth, and diversity of expertise and experience that these authors bring to the table – and what organization doesn’t need tools and frameworks to better formulate and execute strategy in the face of unprecedented change? But, be prepared to be challenged as the authors continuously focus on change and culture more so than technical accounting to inspire more emphasis on advanced data modelling, causality, predictive and anticipatory capability, and an integrated approach to value creation. There truly is power in profitability analytics (which includes sustainability analytics for purpose-driven organizations in the spirit of “no money, no mission”) if you are willing to let go of the status quo!

No longer “nice to have,” the ability to leverage analytics to gain a competitive edge has become critical to effective strategy formulation and execution. The challenge is knowing how to proceed. Fortunately, we have Unleashing the Power of Profitability Analytics, which takes an in-depth look at the PACE Profitability Analytics Framework. Employing both financial and nonfinancial data, and integrating the principles of revenue management, managerial costing, and investment management, the Framework can serve as a management tool to increase the likelihood of successfully formulating and executing your organization’s strategy. Based on years of experience, this book is highly practical and not simply theory and conjecture. Numerous case studies and examples show the model’s application to both service and manufacturing organizations.
