A cold sunrise in Amsterdam

A strategy meeting that turned into a two-days budgeting session.
We met to discuss next years strategy and ended pondering over Excel sheets with next years budget, shifting numbers between sheets and columns, trying to make them match, and to cut out excess spend. In one day we saved millions of Euro.
But did we really?  Actually the money was never in danger to be spent, and the budgeting figures were probably exaggerated in the first place. First budgeting rule - plan some buffer...

Disappointed about the missed strategy talks I went to bed late in the evening. But an early sunrise did it’s best to compensate…
