Overordnede kursusmål
Our aim is to enable participants to measure and manage financial information with a focus on long-term value and value creation. This is a “language and tool course” designed to equip participants with the mindset and the skills to develop the financial component of a well-argued business case aligned with strategic objectives, and to deliver a well-founded pitch to management. The course also enhances participants’ ability to communicate effectively—not only with CFOs, treasurers, and controllers, but also with boards, shareholders, and other fund providers.
