Executive summary

Zero-based budgeting builds the budget from zero each cycle, justifying every cost rather than incrementing last year's. This is the Zero-Based Budgeting from the Stratenity Library, a governed strategic execution asset that is already built for you. It gives your team the full working method for zero-based budgeting, and it walks through everything from decision units: carving the organisation into fundable blocks to category ownership and dual accountability. Every asset ships with a worked client example, a clear RACI, defined KPIs, and governance you can defend, so your team adapts it to a live client engagement instead of starting from a blank page.
