The Roles of the Board in Forecasting

The Revenue Forecasting & Analysis training course begins by examining the purpose and structure of revenue forecasts, before progressing through historical revenue analysis and the identification of key business drivers. The agenda considers how revenue may be segmented and assessed through growth, pricing, volume, mix and seasonality, establishing a clear basis for forecast assumptions. It then introduces alternative forecasting perspectives, including top-down and bottom-up approaches, and connects operating assumptions with the development of detailed revenue projections.

The later agenda develops these foundations through driver-based forecasting, the analysis of trends and the refinement of assumptions across different revenue streams. It addresses the construction of forecast scenarios and sensitivities, enabling alternative cases to be considered without losing sight of historical performance or the underlying commercial factors. The course then brings the analytical and forecasting strands together through the review and interpretation of projected revenue, focusing on consistency between assumptions, forecast outputs and the wider financial analysis in which the revenue forecast is used.
