UNDERSTAND YOUR
ORGANISATION'S GROWTH POTENTIAL
Successful managers can look into the past and predict the future!

The study of financial decision making is inherently a topic requiring lots of computation. On this workshop the computation is done in, and illustrated with Excel, the premier business computational tool. This powerful combination gives you the flexibility and know-how to change the elements of an example and immediately get a new answer.

Practical learning session with templates and exercises
Although this is not an “Excel Course”, your knowledge of both financial issues and Excel will be enhanced, particularly as you will be supplied with prepared Excel models for the exercises, enabling you to concentrate on the logic behind the models.
