A finance program forteams facing
Is every forecast review a round of corrections because teams build their numbers on different assumptions?
Usually yes. Every team forecasts from the facts it prefers, and the review spends its hour reconciling spreadsheets instead of deciding anything. This program aligns what your business unit leaders know, believe and do when they forecast, 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 forecast depends on a number nobody has agreed yet, I…MMira…use the agreed company assumption, and flag where I disagree.
JJonas…use my own best guess. I know my area.
AAylin…use last year, to be safe.
TTomas…leave it out and explain in the review.
RRosa…honestly, I'm not sure where the agreed assumptions are.
What it costs you if nobody notices
Shared knowledgeFive assumptions, one lineWhen each team uses its own growth rate and price, the consolidated forecast is a sum of opinions, and nobody can say what it assumes.
Shared convictionThe number is defended, not sharedA team that sees its forecast as a target to defend builds in a cushion, and the company plans on a number nobody believes.
Shared practiceThe review corrects instead of decidesWhen the same facts produce five forecasts, the review spends its hour on the differences and never reaches the decision.
The program that closes the gap
Four one-hour sessions. Every one of your business unit leaders, the same assumptions, a review that decides.

Alone first. Then the team agrees on one answer.
This is a taste, not the whole session. “Build from the same facts” 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.
