It’s to help them make decisions. Yet many forecasts are built backwards\, engineered for the presentation rather than the conversation that follows it. \nIf you’ve ever watched a forecast get ignored\, misread\, or reduced to a slide nobody questioned\, the problem usually isn’t the numbers. It’s the structure. \nThis session is built for the finance leaders who want their models to actually move the room. \n\n\n\n\nWhat We’ll Cover in 60 Minutes:\n\nWhy forecasts get ignored\, and the structural reasons most teams never fix\nHow to make assumptions visible and defensible so leadership can see\, question\, and trust them\nDesigning outputs around the questions decision-makers are actually asking\nBuilding a forecast structure that drives the right conversation\, not just a clean presentation\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend:\n\nFP&A leaders whose forecasts aren’t influencing decisions the way they should\nFinance managers building models for leadership review or board-level conversations\nControllers and analysts who want their outputs to drive action\, not confusion\nAnyone who’s ever presented a forecast and watched it land with a shrug\n\n\n\n\n\nYour Host:\nCarl Seidman\, is a highly sought-after senior corporate finance leader and authority in financial planning & analysis (FP&A)\, turnaround/ restructuring\, and finance transformation.  He advises Fortune 500 corporations and middle-market companies\, helping establish effective FP&A practices\, processes\, and teams.
