Finance for Today’s Nonfinancial Professionals
There is a powerful amount of information contained in financial reports, data, and language. With an understanding of that information and how to apply it, professionals across the company can make better decisions, leverage innovative opportunities, and improve the performance of the company overall.
Especially in times of financial turmoil—within the economy or the company itself—it is critical for all professionals to understand the reasons for financial swings and their impact on individual company performance.
Finance for Today’s Nonfinancial Professionals offers a new twist on a classic program. It carefully leads the program participant through basic concepts to more complex learning. Through it all is the innovative emphasis on the immediate application of the knowledge and skills gained, often within the context of the participant’s industry or company situation.
This engaging session is designed for mid- to senior-level nonfinancial professionals who want to deepen their financial skills or for those who would like a refresher course.
