Forecasting is a skill,
not a formula

Where the curriculum came from

The idea for Xoltruv started with a frustration. Fionnuala Drennan, who had spent years advising small and mid-sized businesses across Munster, kept seeing the same pattern: owners who were perfectly capable of running their operations day-to-day but had no reliable method for looking three or six months ahead. They were making decisions by instinct when they could have been making them by design.

The courses we built don't start with models. They start with the question a business owner is actually trying to answer - whether that's how much stock to hold going into Q4, or when to take on a second employee. The technical side follows from there, not the other way around.

The learning path we designed

Every programme at Xoltruv follows a four-stage progression. Learners move from reading existing data critically, through building their own projection models, into stress-testing those models against realistic scenarios, and finally into communicating findings to people who weren't in the room when the numbers were built.

The people who teach here

Our teaching team is small by choice. Each specialist covers a specific domain - demand forecasting, cash flow modelling, scenario planning, or data presentation - rather than trying to be a generalist across all of them. Hover over a card to see what each person focuses on.
