Understanding Investment Appraisal Training
Often those working in operational roles get frustrated with finance when business decisions that appear obvious get blocked or turned down by finance. This often leads to resentment and a view that the finance team are not commercial enough and just interested in cost cutting.
Often the root of this problem is actually communication rather than the investment decision itself. Finance professionals are taught robust techniques to make investment decisions and unless you can speak “their language”, it is unlikely that your business case will get approval.
Thankfully we’re here to help – demystifying the jargon so you’re better placed to present your case in the best possible way.
