Overview
Physical classes are available.
It is no longer an option for managers not to have a basic working knowledge of finance in their job. Managers wear many hats and shoulder many responsibilities, but arguably the most vital of them all is the one that involves paying attention to the organization's financial vital signs.
Knowing how to accurately interpret financial statements, create more comprehensive Cost/Benefit projections and understanding what key financial data captures from your company's overall productivity is an essential skill set for all EXECUTIVE and MANAGEMENT personnel.
The more financial acumen a manager gains, the more valuable an asset they become to their organization and to the wider market.
Whether you're a start-up trying to accomodate negative cashflow until you break even, or a well-established company where you need to provide KPI assessments based on financial data to ensure shareholder confidence, FINANCIAL KNOWLEDGE is a key advantage in managing business growth and expansion.
This 2-day workshop provides participants with in-depth training on financial techniques and terminology using very hands-on, practical activities and discussions. Whether you're a Line Manager or an Executive Project Manager, these tools will be priceless in your decision-making process.
