Zero Based Budgeting (ZBB)

Zero Based Budgeting (ZBB) is an approach used to budget operational spending. It enables organizations to identify their major recent costs, and more importantly, determine the resources they need to allocate, align and sustain their strategic priorities.

ZBB is not a new approach but it is quite unlike traditional budgeting methods. Dating back more than 50 years, it can be described as a reform in terms of the financial freedom it brings to companies in cost and performance management.

What is ZBB?

In traditional budgeting approach, new budgets are created by calculating the realized spending of the previous periods. On the other hand, ZBB, which resurfaced in the 21st century and gained popularity among organizations again, is an approach to budgeting that starts from zero. Focus is on the future, not what happened in the past, and the results are seen quickly.
