In this episode of Future Finance Podcast, hosts Paul Barnhurst and Glenn Hopper welcome Alex Brower to discuss why the biggest forecasting challenge isn't technology–it's getting finance, sales, and leadership aligned around the same definition of success.
Technology doesn't create alignment. People do.
The best FP&A leaders don't sit behind spreadsheets protecting their own numbers.
They bring the CRO, CFO, and every key stakeholder into the same conversation.
Because forecasts only matter when they change decisions.
And decisions only happen when everyone trusts the same facts.
A prediction sitting in someone's spreadsheet changes nothing.
A forecast the entire business believes in changes everything.
