A possible solution [to getting line managers to become willing participants in the budget process] says John Hagerty, vice president and research fellow at AMR Research, would be to create a more intuitive, text-based interface for budgeting software. “Instead of forcing people into a form that’s easier for you, you could pull from them the data you need and then decipher what it means,” he says. “It could be like TurboTax, which asks you a series of questions and pops out an answer. Even my kids can do my taxes using that software.”
