Sound familiar?

These are the money problems this training is built to fix.

Promoted for clinical excellence, not finance

You now chair budget meetings, but nobody taught you to read a P&L.

Good ideas rejected for 'no business case'

The new device or service makes clinical sense, but you can't show the numbers.

Finance reports feel like another language

EBITDA, margin, A/R days: the terms get in the way of the decision.

Decisions made on gut feel

Without cost and ROI data, the loudest voice wins, not the best option.
