This course is not intended to cover complicated models or forecasts, as in most cases there is neither time nor data to do them. It also does not require a wider knowledge of mathematics, statistics, econometrics, or the usage of more advanced tools than Excel. The knowledge gained in this course will be sufficient in 70% of the cases and can be done with the knowledge of basic Math. This course is especially important during Strategy projects, M&A projects, and business development projects, as it will help customers define strategy, and decide whether they should open a new factory, enter a new field, or buy a business. It can also be used as the starting point for budgeting models.
