At Marlowe Tiles, we used to set
one budget a year, every November.
One calendar with November circled
Now we update a 12-month forecast
every month.
A strip of 12 months, redrawn each month
That's what rolling means:
each month, the view moves forward by one month.
The strip slides on by one month
The update takes 2 days each month.
Two days marked on the month
Last review,
the gap between forecast and actual sales
fell from 18% to 7%.
Two bars: 18% and 7%
So when you hear rolling forecast,
think: updated every month,
not set once a year.
