A finance program forteams facing
Do your managers keep asking Finance to approve decisions they should know how to make?
Usually yes. The rules say what a manager can approve, and every manager asks anyway, because asking is safer than being wrong. This program aligns what your managers know, believe and do with the routine decisions, in four one-hour team sessions.

What you'd typically hear if five of your budget owners answered alone.
SESSION 1 · FILL THE GAPSAnswered alone
Finish the sentence: when my team needs a purchase that is inside my limit but not in the plan, I…MMira…approve it. That is what the limit is for.
JJonas…check it against the plan and the rules, then approve it myself.
AAylin…ask Finance, to be safe.
TTomas…ask my own manager first.
RRosa…honestly, I'm not sure what my limit is.
What it costs you if nobody notices
Shared knowledgeThe rules are known to Finance onlyWhen managers do not know what they may approve, every decision is a question, and Finance answers the same one fifty times.
Shared convictionAsking is the safe choiceA manager who believes a wrong call ends their career asks for everything, and the team waits two weeks for a laptop.
Shared practiceTwo managers, two answersWhen the same case is approved in one team and escalated in another, the team that waited learns to go round the rule.
The program that closes the gap
Four one-hour sessions. Every one of your managers, the same rules, decided without asking.

This is a taste, not the whole session. “Decide the same cases” runs 4 exercises with your own team, on a call or in a room. Here is one of them, on the real screens, played with four AI teammates, so you can feel how a session works.
