About the SSPITD Program
Planning and budgeting still run on spreadsheets, and most errors come from weak structure rather than weak formulas. The program covers building a clean model, importing and cleaning data, lookup and aggregation functions, scenario and sensitivity analysis, forecasting techniques and presenting the result clearly. Delivered in-house at the client's premises or live virtual, it leaves finance and planning teams with faster, safer and more reliable budget models.
