Certificate in Finance as a Strategic Business Partner
Transforming the finance function from reactive scorekeeper to proactive business partner
Sign Up for Our Professional Certificate in Finance as a Strategic Business Partner Training
Gain insight into a range of frameworks for the role of finance as business partner
Course Overview
To meet the needs of a fast-changing world and to generate value for the organisation’s customers and owners, the finance function faces a fundamental challenge:
- To continue the traditional role – Control, compliance, backward-looking accounting, the unloved budgetary bureaucracy: often described as reactive scorekeeping (and more unkindly as “bean counting”)
- Or to become a Strategic Business Partner – Contributing proactively to the success of the organisation in co-operation with other functions and departments
Benefits of Attending
- Learn what being a Strategic Business Partner really means and how finance can uniquely contribute value to that business partnership
- Understand a range of practical ways to achieve transformation of the finance function to become a successful and valued strategic business partner
- Learn from many case study examples of both good practices and potential barriers to be overcome
