Boost your financial literacy

In their quarterly hustle to meet the numbers, managers rarely take the time to step back and consider how these numbers relate to the big picture or how their decisions and performance actually add value. This program seeks to change that. We provide you with a framework that transforms strategy buzzwords and financial jargon into clear tools and objectives. These actionable takeaways will help you to communicate and manage important decisions such as investments and M&As more effectively.

Although the program blends insights from theory and practice, it will be very hands-on to boost your financial literacy. The program will show you how to read and analyze financials through the lens of value-creation. We will explore these numbers to understand how to present and choose among business cases, how to factor in uncertainty, and how to value a company. We will also make sure that you avoid common mistakes and fallacies in financial decision-making going forward to create a lasting impact on your career.

This program is delivered in German. The English language equivalent to this program is Finance for Executives.

Testimonial

"A very good seminar in which previous knowledge is certainly helpful, but not absolutely necessary. Complex contexts are explained clearly, so that one can always keep up well with the subject. A clear recommendation for those who do not deal with the topic on a daily basis, but are increasingly confronted with it."

Marcus Eich, Functional Head of Surface Storage Facilities, Uniper Energy Storage GmbH
