Building a business strategy that works is one thing, but building a financial modelling strategy to help businesses make better decisions is an entirely different (but related challenge). It is way more than building a bunch of Excel spreadsheets. At times it is also about dealing with larger data, and people's willingness to learn and adapt. In this article co-authored by Mark Vigors we explore how to build a financial modelling strategy with practical steps that you can take.

I’ve never been more excited to start a new year than this year coming in 2024 and there are several reasons for that, which we are going to cover in this article. But rather than just rely on my thoughts, I thought I’d call upon my helpful co-pilot Bing Chat to assist and challenge me and visa versa on the topic.   For transparency, I have put in italics and have referenced Bing sources. Enjoy, strap in and enjoy the 2024 ride!

Some interesting things to consider in this article and also to look out for. 👀 "Bottom line, the person next to you who learns how to embrace and apply these tools is more of a threat to your job than the bot inside the machine.”
