Our preformance test to improve your forecasting
Forecasting is a Pain. We all know that.
Even a good forecast is built on assumptions. While verifiable numbers of past performance go into the equation, there is still a lot of guesswork in coming up with the final figures.
While forecasts are vital to making an operating budget, you may be stuck with those numbers even if they're faulty. You've set aside a certain amount for payroll or office expenses under the assumption that forecast is realistic and may be left scrambling if the forecast is wrong. Then you may need to cut back and basically start with a fresh forecast.
While making a profit is the reason for going into business, priorities get skewed when the forecast doesn't hold up. You may be tempted to trim your budget blindly or cut corners on quality to recoup your perceived losses.
