Budget Your Business

Saying “And” Instead of “No” When Planning with Scott Geller

Scott Geller Season 1 Episode 17

E#17: Scott Geller performs a planning session, discussing “Saying “And” Instead of “No” When Planning.”

Join me, host Scott Geller, on the Budget Your Business podcast to listen. 

Scott keeps the microphone in today’s episode walking through a different budgeting approach to saying “No” all the time. Finance is often the "No" group or pitted against other departments, especially during this time of year when many companies are rolling through or into budget season. Either / Or leads to a downward spiral and results in the worst of both worlds. Using "And / Both" creates synergistic thinking, allowing people to brainstorm about the combined problem. Scott walks through examples and a process to approach with an “And / Both” mindset. The "And / Both" process creates discomfort, which is good, until the point where the business feels comfort in discomfort. The goal is finding the "Both / And" solution. If you come to a fork in the road, take it.
