Corporate Budget & Management Report — Excel Simulation

Microsoft Excel · Budget Verification · Variance Analysis

  • Built a 9-sheet Excel model that simulates one annual budget cycle of a free-to-air TV network: verifying 25 departmental submissions, consolidating them into a corporate and programme budget, and reporting monthly Budget vs Actual with a full-year forecast.
  • Automated verification rules (document completeness, year-on-year cap, benchmark tests) flagged 7 of 25 submissions and reduced requests by 5.9% in the simulation; variance statuses use both a percentage tolerance and a materiality threshold.
  • Added TV-specific metrics — cost per episode vs genre benchmark, TVR and cost per TVR point — plus 9 automated integrity checks so every total reconciles across sheets.

Beyond Cost Saving: A Multi-KPI Framework for AI Efficiency

Strategic & Data Analytics Commentary

  • Analyzed Klarna's AI chatbot case (2.3M conversations/month, 75% of customer chats across 23 countries) to evaluate the trade-off between cost efficiency and service quality.
  • Argued that measuring efficiency through a single cost-saving metric can mask real business impact on customer experience, loyalty, and brand trust.
  • Proposed a multi-KPI monitoring dashboard — CSAT, AI Escalation Rate, and Complaint Rate — with weekly operational review to rebalance AI-human composition based on performance data, not assumptions.
