THIS COURSE IS RUN BY CIMA MASTERCOURSES
Course OverviewWorkshop one - finance leadership
You need to rise above the basic accounting routines and become a change leader who can transform finance into a best-in-class operation. You need to make an honest assessment of how effective you are and prepare a vision and roadmap of where you want to be in a few years from now. And you need to take your team with you on the journey.
This workshop will teach you how to:
- develop a vision and roadmap for finance (aligning the CEO–CFO visions)
- improve finance efficiency (how to cut out low value work, increase quality and reduce costs)
- improve finance effectiveness (how to turn finance into a valued and trusted business partner)
- build your team
- use IT to build a best practice performance management system
- design and use a finance scorecard to set goals and action plans for finance and to measure performance progress
Case examples include Cisco Systems, GE, Handelsbanken and American Express.
The course starts with registration and coffee at 9.00 and ends at 5.00. Morning coffee, lunch and afternoon tea are provided.
Suitability and application
These workshops are aimed at existing and aspiring CFOs (including finance directors/controllers/managers, strategic/business planners and anyone responsible for improving the finance and planning operations) who want to improve their knowledge and performance. They are applicable to both the private and public sector.
What will I get out of it?
Based on many insights into how the best CFOs have improved their finance operations, this series provides the opportunity for you to take a career step-change in knowledge and performance. It will cover a wide range of topics including leadership, efficiency, strategy, profitability, planning and measurement.
