How are we going to invest that capital of all the different ways we can invest?
What's the highest and best uses of that capital?
And how are we going to manage time?
How are we going to get everyone focused on the things that really matter and not waste their time on the silly stuff that really doesn't matter?
It's not going to create massive value for our shareholders, which is what our mission is.
The FP&A people help with understanding that and putting it into numbers.
Because sometimes you can get
very inspired and motivated and it's a really creative, fantastic, inspiring project comes up.
But when you analyze the numbers, it's really not a really good return on time or return on capital.
So maybe we shouldn't be spending so much time on that.
So we're also managing how much time are we spending as an organization on what kind of projects.
You find a lot of time in corporate America
somehow or another, they get lost.
Management gets lost on these tangents that are not central to their main mission of creating value for shareholders.
And the FP&A people keep track of that.
They're the scorekeepers to keep everyone honest of how we're investing capital, how are the returns on that capital versus what we expected it to be, what we planned on, how we spending our time is how we're spending our time
proportionate to what has the highest impact of how we're spending our time.
And this is a very important role.
So FP&A ends up being kind of omnipresent throughout the organization anytime we're making big decisions, because they're really good at getting all this down to reality, to real numbers.
FP&A has two lines.
