One hundred and twenty five senior finance executives participated in a study titled, The State of Capital Planning, conducted by Appleseed Partners and Financial Executives Research Foundation (FERF), and sponsored by Planview. The results are in and will be featured in as webcast this month on January 24, 2012 at 12PM CST.

Here is a sneak peek into some of the key statistics found in the study.
