Driving Performance with Metrics
Do you struggle to keep budgets current in the face of an ever-changing
business climate? Do you recognize that actual spending can be far from what a
department’s spending should be? Twenty-first century performance metrics reduce
work, reduce politics, provide flexibility and substantially improve the
performance management process. This valuable session will show you how to drive
organizational performance using these powerful techniques.
Objective: Understand how to use
metrics to improve your organization’s performance.
Effective Business Writing
American businesses report losing $400 billion a year to unclear writing that
wastes time, kills contracts and turns off customers. Optimize your time spent
in communications as a writer and a reader. Prevent your readers from sending
your documents to the circular file because they are too much work to decipher.
Write with clear purpose and enjoy the results and time saved. Be part of the
solution, not part of the problem – write it right the first time.
Objective: Learn how to cut your writing time in
half and double your impact.
Presentation Skills for Success
We strive to make effective presentations, but this may not be one of our
strengths. Presentation skills are essential to effective leaders, especially
for CFOs who must tell their company’s story to both internal and external
audiences.
In this seminar, you will learn; (1) to deliver presentations effectively and
with confidence, (2) to take “big picture” information and make it relevant to
specific audiences, and (3) to conduct an effective “Question and Answer”
session.
Objective: To understand how to make your presentations more effective.
Communicating Financial Information to Non-Accountants
Do you ever get blank looks when you present your company's financial
statements? Does your board nod knowingly, during your presentation, but never
seem to have any meaningful questions? It could be that they have no idea what
you are talking about and are just pretending to understand! Learn how to
connect with your CEO, board, fellow managers, and ordinary employees so they
understand your message. Learn to motivate them to action. Come hear a veteran
CFO tell you how.
Objective: Understand how to connect with your stakeholders who do not have a
financial background.
