Not all business decisions are big ones that require a deep, lengthy analysis in order to confidently move forward. Many are smaller go/no-go decisions that require an analysis with a quick turnaround to assess whether things are moving in the right direction. I have extensive experience performing these analyses, understanding where the 80/20 rule should be applied and where more precision is needed.
I have helped create as well as implement financial governance processes that balance the need for flexibility and fast-movement with the need for guardrails to keep a company on track toward its financial goals.
I have been part of vendor negotiations, focusing on getting not just the best price but also the best pricing structure—i.e. one that minimizes financial risk when business plans inevitably change (volume commitments, fixed-vs-variable fees, tiered pricing, performance guarantees, etc.)
