Sound Familiar?
The board wants an update on your cost saving initiative.
Comprehensive, but relatable. No data-dumping.
Diving into the numbers, the results are positive.
But murky.

After 40 slides, the audience nods, looks weary.
The CFO looks up, “Are we saving money, or not?”
Yikes.
The board thinks you missed the mark.
