Budget Approvals Don't Have to Feel Like Running Through Mud
We've worked with finance teams across Bangkok who spend weeks chasing signatures and wondering where requests actually go. Our September 2025 program shows you what actually works when multiple departments need to sign off on spending.

Why Budget Approvals Keep Getting Stuck
Most organizations struggle with the same issues. Understanding where things break down is the first step toward fixing them.
Unclear Authority Levels
When nobody's quite sure who can approve what amount, requests bounce between departments. You end up with three people thinking someone else should handle it.
Documentation Chaos
Supporting documents get lost in email threads. Two weeks later, you're asking the same person for the same invoice they already sent. Everyone's frustrated.
No Visibility Into Status
The requester emails asking where their approval is. You don't know because it's somewhere between finance and operations. Cue the awkward follow-up chain.
How Organizations Actually Fix This
Before: Everything Takes Forever
A marketing manager submits a vendor request. Finance needs three supporting documents. By the time those arrive, the approver is on vacation. Two weeks have passed and nothing's happened. Sound familiar?
The Shift: Building Clear Pathways
Teams map out exactly what each approval type needs upfront. They define who reviews at each stage and set realistic timeframes. No more guessing or chasing people who shouldn't be involved anyway.
After: Predictable, Manageable Process
Requests move through defined stages. Everyone knows their role. Documentation requirements are clear from day one. The process isn't perfect, but it's no longer the organizational black hole it used to be.

Finance Manager, BangkokWe were drowning in approval requests that just sat there. After the October 2024 workshop, we rebuilt our entire routing structure. It's not magical, but requests actually move now instead of disappearing into someone's inbox for three weeks.
What You'll Actually Learn
Our September 2025 program walks through practical workflow design based on what we've seen work in mid-sized organizations. No theory lectures about perfect systems that don't exist.
Authority Matrix Design
Build approval hierarchies that match how your organization actually operates, not some consultant's ideal org chart.
Document Management
Set up systems where supporting files stay attached to requests instead of floating around in separate email threads.
Status Tracking Methods
Create visibility so people can check approval progress without sending you another email asking where things are.
