Seminar Details

Finance affects everyone in an organization, through company performance metrics, monthly budgets, capital-allocation decisions, or the strategic planning process. Managers in functional areas outside of finance may feel removed and often lack the vocabulary to interact effectively on finance-related issues.

This seminar bridges this gap by making key concepts understandable. You learn the importance of shareholder value initiatives and ways your decisions can help your organization create greater value. Ideal for senior-level and mid-level executives, managers in non-finance-related functional areas, managers new to the finance function, and managers seeking to brush up on financial concepts.
