Finance for Non-finance Professionals

Making strategic decisions for business require multi-functional decision-making ability. Commercial and Financial skills are needed to formulate, implement and evaluate strategic decisions. Depending on the levels of management, the requirement for commercial and financial skills may vary, but rudimentary knowledge is essential for all decision-makers.

Managers and Executives around the world are increasingly expected to be multi-functional. Line functions' decisions are no longer limited to a single responsibility centre. Competition drives firms to become leaner and take integrated decisions that take care of not just functional requirements but also address business decisions' financial and commercial ramifications.

Pedagogy

The overall design, will be experiential learning for participants. They'll be trained and developed in understanding financial variables in the initial session. In the second stage, the use of different cost techniques, finance and management tools essential to strategic decision-making will be the topic of sessions. Finally, participants will discuss real-life-based cases provided by the instructor from prominent sources.
