Main Goal
Managers are constantly faced with financial data and concepts that they must not only understand and analyze, but also manage and communicate to others. Moreover, managers working for international companies or groups must gain a comprehensive knowledge of international accounting principles and have the ability to discuss them with the holding company or headquarters by using appropriate finance terms. Finance for Executives is specifically designed for managers working at international companies and willing to develop a greater understanding and awareness of the economic implications of their decisions when it comes to planning and defining objectives and evaluating performance.
The program is designed to provide a strong foundation in finance to executives who want to understand how to use actionable and practical tools to identify and effectively communicate the financial implications of their decisions. More specifically, by the end of this program, senior-level executives will be able to show the financial return and the impact of strategic initiatives on company value, also by analyzing risks and all the potential upsides and downsides of their decisions. Thanks to this knowledge, participants will be ready to promote a real and effective business partnership between Finance and other corporate functions in order to propel the growth of their company, subsidiary, or business unit - helping them to move forward in their careers.
The course has an additional focus on strategies for generating value and methods for assessing the value of a company, not just in terms of the economic/financial field but also in a broader sense that includes sustainability and the social/economic impact.
The Finance for senior executives course has three complementary learning modules and takes place over 4.5 days.
1) Linking financial performance to strategic decisions
2) Planning and executing a sustainable growth strategy
3) Funding the company’s growth strategy
You will also have the opportunity to apply the methodologies introduced in the course in analyzing the financial performance of your own company together with a faculty member.
Two follow-up webinars (of 2 hours each) top off complete the program.
The personalized technical meeting helps you adapt one of the specific topics addressed in the classroom to your professional situation. The individual session with one of the course instructors takes place online and lasts 90 minutes.
Company Visit
During the course, you will have the opportunity to participate in a group visit to a successful company selected by the course instructor. You will get firsthand insight into the modus operandi and economic and financial practices that define them as one of the best examples on the national and international market today.
