CFO Excellence
-
For companies of every size, especially those just starting, it’s important for company heads to lend their ear to solid financial advice. A CFO or comptroller needs to know multiple forms of financial strategies, and how to stay on top of financial changes to make sure their company remains secure. Experience and long term strategic thinking can develop and lead to long term financial solutions, circumventing problems that may risk derailing most other companies.
- Turning 'Theory' into 'Practice'?
-
We have created a program that will introduce you to the skills, tools and the methodologies essential to the successful planning and controlling of projects. Of particular focus will be the development of your own people management and interpersonal skills required to deliver performance on projects at all levels. The course is driven by practical experience and your needs, giving you the opportunity to immediately apply your new understandings and skills to your own projects.
