Forecasting is the analytical engine and the foundation of better planning. On this insights hub we publish practical posts that help finance and operations teams improve forecast accuracy, operationalize scenarios and translate projections into budgets that drive decisions. Articles focus on measurable techniques—driver identification, cadence design, variance analysis and cash runway planning—and on the cultural and governance changes required to move forecasts from a quarterly ritual into a continuous decision tool. We aim to provide content that is immediately usable: clear steps for data collection, simple model structures that scale, checklists for scenario workshops and examples of governance playbooks. Each piece reflects hands-on experience across sectors and emphasizes reproducible methods rather than abstract theory. Subscribe for periodic posts and short case studies that show how forecasting improvements reduced budget cycle time and improved capital allocation in real organizations.
Below are concise summaries of recent posts that tackle real-world forecasting problems. Each summary highlights the decision context, the analytical approach and the recommended operational change so teams can quickly identify what will be most useful.
