"Every business has a trade-off it would rather blur than decide. Protect margin while funding growth. Keep headcount while improving productivity. Back the strategic bet while questioning its ROI. We all know the spreadsheet can show the tension, but FP&A still has to make it visible enough for leaders to act. In this interactive working session, attendees will work through a realistic commercial scenario and pressure-test how finance should frame the decision. Which trade-off is being avoided? Which assumptions are carrying more confidence than they deserve? What evidence is strong enough to support the recommendation? And how can FP&A help leadership make the call without hiding behind consensus? You’ll leave with a sharper way to surface tension, test assumption quality, and turn analysis into a decision the business can stand behind. Key takeaways: - Practise framing trade-offs clearly when the business is trying to preserve too many options. - Learn how to expose weak assumptions, hidden risk, and false consensus before decisions harden. - Explore how FP&A can help leaders make commercially defensible calls under pressure."
