Episode 48 – Growth Architecture pt3

Welcome to What's Broken in GTM and How to Fix It with Louis Fernandes and Simon Daniels. Each episode, together with occasional guests, we explore the challenges that face go-to-market leaders in SaaS scale-up businesses and suggest solutions to common issues.

Louis has been organizing the inaugural Winning By Design Growth Institute UK London chapter meet-up taking place on the 22 April. Some existing Winning By Design revenue architects will be coming along and introducing a number of the concepts we've been talking about on the podcast, making for an interesting evening. Get in touch to apply for an invitation. Meanwhile the Accenture Song Rethink Replay series has now concluded, featuring full sessions from last year's conference that are available for anyone to watch.

As we near the conclusion of our growth architecture topic arc, in this episode we arrive at forecasting. Here’s the TL;DL (“Too Long; Didn’t Listen) in case you don’t have time for the whole episode: Most forecasts assume certainty when none exists. The problem though isn't bad data, it's bad assumptions about how systems behave. The reality is that revenue is not a fixed outcome, it's a range of probabilistic outcomes.
