Finance for Executives Programme: Finding Value Beyond the Balance Sheet

In his role as MD, Alessandro spends much of his time dealing with matters of financial importance, from project financing to managing customer risk and debt. And, while the subject of finance was not entirely foreign to Alessandro, having had to deal with P&L statements and project evaluations previously, the topic of corporate finance was something that he could not admit to being fully conversant in. For a busy executive like Alessandro, he really appreciated the format of the Finance for Executives programme (FFE). In just seven days, participants came away with a working knowledge of finance that they could immediately apply to their role and the business they represented. “With my newfound knowledge, I am now better able to take ownership, especially in the area of corporate finance. Whether it’s talking to the board or customers, I am able to speak with more authority. For example, topics such as Cost of Money are concepts that I have already started applying to new projects.” Read to find out more about how Alessandro applies his newfound knowledge at work: https://inse.ad/FFEarticleJul23 If you are interested in the FFE Programme, click here to find out more: https://inse.ad/FFEjul23
