THE FIVE KEY
QUESTIONS ON

FINANCIAL
LEADERSHIP
OF OPERATIONS
Many Finance executives want to explore the operations management and supply chains in a more in-depth manner. Why? Because that enhances there ability to be more effective in their own jobs – of managing the finances of the business and financial reporting of the business performance.  

WHY Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) and their teams of finance executives have a key role to play in the business management. They are uniquely placed to understand not only the key operational decisions but also the full financial impact of these decisions right up to the published financial results.

 

Financial Leadership of Operations Executive Programme is designed to help companies meet this challenge. It develops dynamic Finance Leaders who can integrate financial leadership with operations and strategic management.

WHY Many CFOs recognise the challenge. They want to understand the Operations Management and Supply Chain Management in a more in-depth manner. However, most courses on the topic are designed and delivered from the point of view of operations executives rather than finance executives. Hence there is a lot of redundant material while at the same time not enough material of interest.

The solution is to attend the one day program in Financial Leadership of Operations. This program will not only provide you with cutting edge information on operations and supply chain management, but also equip you on how apply this information to your financial management and to overall business strategy. So, whether you are preparing your next board report, or your next annual report – you are not merely regurgitating information provided by others – you are well equipped to test, verify and authenticate the information.

INDICATIVE WORKSHOP OVERVIEW – WHAT YOU WILL LEARN?

The workshop covers material of most interest and use to the finance executives interested in operations and supply chain management. It is designed for those who want to accelerate their professional and personal development without going through time consuming and laborious theoretical diversions. Some of the key questions you will answer are:

  • Why many finance executives lose credibility when talking about their operations to the CEOs and the board of directors? What is the best way to ensure you keep that credibility?
  • What are some of the most common mis-assumptions that finance executives make when conducting operational cost analysis? What are the strategic and political implications of these assumptions?
  • How budgets go awry despite your best efforts and what operational steps are necessary to keep control of the budgets?
  • Why nearly all the cost-to-serve models are flawed and how to ensure your modeling drives good decision making and positive action?
  • How to recognise the key symptoms of the most common operational problems well before they show up on financial results?
