Why Should You Attend?
Exclusive workshop, exclusive location!  This dynamic, hands-on workshop is limited to the first 40 registrants, so reserve your spot today.  Bring the family, escape the heat and take part in an intimate educational program with Neil Beaton and James Catty. They will map out a solid framework you'll be able to apply to every set of management projections you work with.  

Neil and Jim are structuring your agenda around the hierarchy of uses for projections: 1) litigation 2) financing 3) running the day to day business

Highlights of the intensive workshop with Neil and James include:

  • Case studies that dissect actual management projections – the good, the bad, and the ugly! You'll actively work in small groups to analyze, test, and scenario-build with a set of real management projections.
  • Surefire tactics to help you avoid getting slammed in court.  Relevant case law will be thoroughly integrated into the course.
  • Point/Counterpoint exercises - Neil and James will role play as attorney and expert questioning and being questioned about financial projections and their conclusions.
  • Bulletproof tools - You'll be able to apply to every set of projections you handle.  These tools will be a central component of class materials.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to learn with these thought leaders. You'll master both the art and science of management projection analysis!
