We Started With a Spreadsheet Problem

Back in 2019, our founder spent three hours fixing a budget tracking error that could've been caught in minutes. That frustration became connectintelli.

How We Got Here

Most companies started with grand visions. We started with Mariana staying late on a Friday night, triple-checking columns in Excel because project numbers didn't match up again. The coffee went cold while she rebuilt the same formulas she'd used on the previous project.

She wasn't alone. Talking with other project managers around Posadas revealed the same pattern – everyone built their own tracking systems, made the same mistakes, and wasted time on problems someone else had already solved.

So we built something different. Not flashy software promising miracles, but practical training that teaches people to avoid those 3 AM budget panic moments. The kind of knowledge that actually sticks because it solves real problems you'll face next Tuesday.

What Actually Matters to Us

These aren't poster slogans. They're the standards we measure ourselves against when deciding what to teach and how to teach it.

Reality-Based Learning

We teach from actual budget disasters we've seen (and caused). No theoretical perfect scenarios – just the messy situations you'll encounter when stakeholders change their minds or vendors send surprise invoices.

Honest Timelines

Budget management takes time to learn properly. We tell you upfront: expect six months of practice before you feel confident. Anyone promising instant expertise is selling you something that won't work under pressure.

Local Context

Argentina's economic environment creates unique budget challenges. We address peso volatility, regional vendor pricing, and the specific reporting requirements companies here actually use. Generic international advice won't cut it.

Who's Teaching You

Small team. Combined experience includes budget overruns, successful recoveries, and enough formula errors to know how things actually go wrong.

How We Actually Teach This

Budget management education usually falls into two categories: boring theory that puts people to sleep, or oversimplified tips that fall apart on real projects. We're trying something between those extremes.

Real Project Scenarios

You'll work through case studies from actual projects – including the one where a vendor submitted invoices in the wrong currency and nobody caught it until month three. We show you where problems hide so you can spot them early.

Progressive Complexity

Start with single-project tracking. Add multi-project portfolios. Then introduce variables like scope changes and resource reallocation. By month five, you're handling the kind of complex scenarios that used to require calling your manager for help.

Ongoing Support

Learning doesn't end when the program does. Students get access to monthly review sessions where we troubleshoot whatever challenges came up in their actual work. It's less formal than the main training, more like consulting with colleagues who've seen similar problems.
