Why don’t CFOs fully trust their forecasts?
A lack of trust in forecasts rarely stems from analytical capability. According to Hypergene’s Confessions of a Nordic CFO, it’s more often about fragmented data, manual steps, and forecasting processes that can’t keep up with the pace of change.
When forecasts can’t keep up with reality
Many forecasts rely on assumptions that quickly become outdated, which undermines confidence in the output.
Consequences for decisionmaking
When confidence is low, forecasts become a formality instead of a foundation for real decisions. This pattern appears in both commercial and publicsector organizations, where forecasts are expected to guide decisions under uncertainty.
