The Finance Quadrant: Financial Uncertainty

You want to understand what’s behind the numbers. But you don’t know what questions to ask.

Welcome to my newsletter “Behind the Numbers”.

A fortnightly newsletter where I share my Finance tips for Operational Leaders and their teams. I may also share an interesting sporting stat along the way.

For those of you who know my story you’ll get why numbers and sport are so much part of who I am.

After avoidance comes Financial Uncertainty

Fast forward a couple of months and John had managed to avoid the spotlight. His numbers had been green. He didn’t understand why, but that wasn’t important. They were green and that’s all that mattered.

But this month his numbers are red.

John doesn’t know why his area costs are higher than budget. He doesn’t see the connection between the actions of his team and the numbers.

I describe this as Financial Uncertainty.

You want to understand what’s behind the numbers. But you don’t know what questions to ask.

Collingwood are currently ranked 2nd out of worldwide professional sports leagues for average home crowd attendance (including finals!) according to Ball Magnets. Have a look below at how the Pies compare the other top world teams.
