# Final thoughts

One of the most critical exercises in digital transformation, and one of the hardest to change, is ensuring that budgeting or portfolio management is no longer a static annual or quarterly exercise, but an evolvable, ongoing process that seeks to answer the question, “How can we make the best strategic investments, given what we know today, given the value of our existing investments, and our current constraints?”

The reality is, that when operating in a state of constant flux, it helps to structure the investment portfolio in an adaptive way that allocates your talent mix appropriately and bakes unpredictability into the planning and initiative evaluation process. Budgeting is ultimately about moving your resources where they’ll create the most value. When you have high-performing teams in place, enabling them with resources when and as they’re needed most becomes the key goal of an nimble budgeting process.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://tbw.rangle.io/the-better-way/02-the-better-way/principle-four-divide-and-conquer/final-thoughts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
